About Us:
We’ve been a Ghurka fan and collector since 1979! We’ve had over 2000 vintage Ghurka bags & accessories in our possession since then; perhaps the largest collection of vintage Ghurka bags in the world! So, we know Ghurka bags inside out, the history, the material, and how to take care of them. We don’t claim to offer the Ghurka bags the cheapest price online, we never think Ghurka bags deserve to be cheap! What we promise, is the Ghurka bags you buy from us have gone through extensive 11 to 18 steps care to make sure the bag has been upgraded to the best condition possible for years of future use. Because we care about our Ghurka bags, when we ship the bag to you, we include a small jar of leather moisturizer & instruction made specifically for the kind of Ghurka leather you purchase.
About Ghurka: (from Ghurka website)
Founded in Connecticut in 1975 by a luxury belt and brace designer Marley Hodgson, Ghurka has served as a symbol of superior American leather craftsmanship for over thirty years.
The origins of the Ghurka brand can be traced back to a fortuitous discovery at a British auction house in the early 1970s.  Hodgson, inspired by his love of history and leather craft, bid on campaign travel gear and leather boots formerly owned by a British Ghurka officer stationed in India at the turn of the 20th century.  He was so impressed by the quality of the nearly century-old leather – durable, yet supple in spite of its age – and by the intricate craftsmanship, that he was compelled to launch a line of comparable leather accessories.  Hodgson tracked down the lost tanning formula for these boots, and for other accouterment carried by the legendary Ghurka regiments, and applied the manufacturing process to his new collection.
