Madison Avenue may be the last place you’d expect to find rugged bags and accessories inspired by British-trained Nepalese military regiments, but urban explorers need their gear, and Ghurka’s got it. Now synonymous with luxurious, hand-crafted leather and cotton twill handbags, briefcases and travel bags, the company claims its products become more beautiful with age thanks to a proprietary vegetable tanning formula discovered by its founder. Ghurka specializes in men’s business and travel bags, from limited-edition leather briefcases (the Garrison bag is roomy enough for a laptop and a clean shirt) to wallets, travel pouches, and key fobs. — Polly Kreisman
