HOW GHURKA TURNED AN AGE OLD CRAFT INTO MODERN ART
Ghurka's team of expert artisans has refined the centuries old craft of leather
making to the point where it is now an art. The artistry of Ghurka begins with the
most luxurious materials on earth. The famously supple hand of the leather originates
from the most desirable hides. Sourced at tanneries in Italy and Spain, these natural
hides are scrupulously inspected to ensure that they're good enough to become Ghurka.
Old school artisans and pattern makers then cut and stitch samples at modern workshops
in Spain, Italy and the United States. Distinctive Ghurka details are often rendered
completely by hand. Bags are lovingly buffed and polished by hand. And each new
design is always 'test worn' to ensure that it functions flawlessly.
In the case of Ghurka's Original Collection, every bag is also stamped with the
Ghurka crest, bag name and a unique registration number before being released for
sale. As a result of this constant attention to quality and detail, it often takes
months to ready a new Ghurka bag for sale. But as those "in the know" know, Ghurka
is always worth the wait.
