Founded in 1975 by Marley Hodgson in Connecticut, Ghurka is an American luxury brand built on a legacy of durable, adventure-ready leather goods. The brand’s origin story traces back to Hodgson’s fascination with the resilient, 75-year-old campaign gear of a British Gurkha commander, which inspired him to create bags that would age with similar grace and character. Ghurka’s signature products, like the Cavalier duffel and Examiner briefcase, are handcrafted from fine leather and sturdy twill, designed to develop a unique patina over a lifetime of use, transforming them into personal heirlooms.
