About
Rooted in Indian craftsmanship and shaped by contemporary expression, RIYSYS creates statement bags - timeless and relevant.
Each bag is a dialogue between structure and soul, tradition and rebellion, permanence and play.
Blurring the lines between art and accessory, our pieces are designed to live with you, grow with you, and say what words can’t. Led by form, shaped by material and defined by detail; we speak to a generation that wants fashion with depth—and design with memory.
RIYSYS is not just carried. It carries.
Building character and conversation.
Launched in 2024, and based in Mumbai, RIYSYS crafts statement pieces, versatile enough to be worn on on any look and prominent enough to draw attention to any look. We offer you a product that you won’t find anywhere else, with every piece involving keen attention to detail, encapsulating luxury-level craftsmanship at an accessible investment. We manufacture and source all our material from India, using ethical labour practices and the highest quality of material.
RIYSYS was invited to showcase at Madras Art Weekend, Chennai at their exclusive fashion showcase in November 2024, been featured in Little Black Book’s recent travel campaign, and available at Surat’s concept store ZIVA and Sartori, Kalaghoda. The brand also hosted its first immersive pop-up show - ANALOG, unveiling the conceptual narrative of RIYSYS. The experience brought together collaborations with five artists across photography and film to create life-sized moving imagery that reflected the brand’s vision.

UNDER
Riya Bafna graduated with a Bachelors in Fine Art from Parsons School of Design, New York - majoring in Fashion Design and minoring in Fashion Communication. Interning at over 5 fashion houses between Mumbai and New York, Riya’s design identity is heavily influenced by the urban landscapes of New York and Mumbai, a blend of vintage allure and contemporary grunge that emphasizes movement, storytelling, and the transformative power of fashion - which manifests into RIYSYS.
“While creating RIYSYS, I wanted to retain the beauty of vintage allure and contemporary grunge, and speak those narratives through our pieces and the documentation of them. We center around the concept of regarding fashion as an experience, and emphasizing movement within it."
