About Us:
We've been a Ghurka fan and collector since 1979! We've sold over 1000 Ghurka bags and items and still have over 2000 vintage Ghurka bags & accessories in our possession since then; perhaps the most extensive collection of vintage Ghurka bags in the world! So, we know the Ghurka bags inside out, the history, the material, and how to take care of them. A vintage Ghurka bag has to be moisturized twice a year, kept in a dry environment, and inside a box or a dust bag. You would need to ask any vintage Ghurka seller about the history and maintenance of that bag before you buy it if you want to get a top-quality vintage Ghurka bag over 15 years of age. We don't claim to offer the Ghurka bags the lowest price online; we never think Ghurka bags deserve to be cheap! We promise that the Ghurka bags you buy from us have gone through extensive 11 to 18 steps of care to ensure 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 made for that kind of leather to ensure the leather on your bag stays fresh and alive. Also, we are always open to consulting with you and helping you with any later issues or questions you may have about your Ghurka items.

 
About Ghurka: (from Ghurka website)
Founded in Connecticut in 1975 by 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. Inspired by his love of history and leather craft, Hodgson 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 despite 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 other accouterments carried by the legendary Ghurka regiments and applied the manufacturing process to his new collection ".
With a new dedicated management team, I am sure we will see more of Ghurka, which is better and more versatile than ever! (My comment).
