I was working at a country club in northwest Ohio. After work one day I saw an estate sale and decided to stop. I went through the rooms of the home and didn’t find too much until I entered one of the bedrooms. That is where I found my very first Ghurka bag, but I didn’t know what a Ghurka was until then. The original price tag was still in the bag as it had been maticulously cared for over the years. I researched the Runabout canvas bag and found that it was first issued in the 1970s. I won’t disclose the price I paid at the sale but needless to say, it was a steal! I take pride in knowing that I have such an iconic bag and when I receive a compliment on the bag, which happens quite often, I am very happy to share my story. I excitedly recommend Ghurka to them and someday I hope to have the matching duffle bag to complete my ensemble!
Ghurka
Since 1975, Ghurka bags and leather goods have embodied the American spirit of strength, confidence, independence and boundless exploration.
