A Family Legacy, Evolving with Time
Founded in 1999 by Mr. Gunasekaran Rathnam and Mrs. Sridevi Gunasekaran, ASTRAA Leathers is a family-owned enterprise built on deep material expertise, skilled craftsmanship, and a commitment to global manufacturing standards. What began as a focused leather jackets production has steadily evolved into a diversified manufacturing partner across leather apparel, accessories, textiles, and select non-leather categories.
In 2016, the next generation joined the business. After completing his Master’s degree in Fashion Marketing, Mr. Prithivi Raj Gunasekaran brought a fresh, future-ready perspective—strengthening business development, market expansion, and brand-led growth initiatives.
More recently, Ms. Sanchana Gunasekaran has played a key role in shaping ASTRAA’s contemporary marketing and communication approach, ensuring the brand stays relevant, consistent, and aligned with today’s industry expectations.
Together, the family continues to build ASTRAA Leathers as a learning-driven organization—honouring its roots while evolving with changing markets, technologies, and customer needs.
Ethical Practice & Sustainability
Responsible Sourcing. Conscious Manufacturing
We procure leather exclusively from certified LWG tanneries where hides are responsibly sourced as a by‑product of the meat industry. Our sustainability commitment includes biodegradable packaging, recycled labels and environmentally conscious low‑impact manufacturing aligned with global compliance expectations.
Eco-Conscious Production
We align our operations with the high sustainability standards of our international partners. This collaborative approach allows us to maintain a low ecological footprint across all manufacturing processes. Our commitment includes using recycled paper for label cards, thread-made product tags, 100% biodegradable plastic for packaging bags, and meticulously managing water and electricity consumption throughout the production cycle. We employ well-managed logistics and optimized supply chain practices to reduce transit emissions and support the overall sustainability goals of our clients.
