BRAND HEAD SPEAK: BOBBY AGGARWAL
IT’S ALL IN THE NAME
Mashak is a leather bag used extensively to transport water till as late as the ’60s in Chandni Chowk and other cities across North India. Historically, a man would fill it with drinking water and carry it across his shoulders to help quench the thirst of weary travellers and soldiers. Hence, we thought it was appropriate to name this collection Mashak as it was envisioned for wanderers and globetrotters.
