WE ARE WHAT WE CREATE
PERFECTION, CRAFT and INSPIRATION are the key foundations of what we build.
We believe in a better world and an artist’s vision. We believe paradise exists here. Now. And we are here to make yours tailored to your taste. We like things HANDMADE and SOUL-TOUCHED. Sourced from the best of places and met with an air of belonging. We do not enjoy the idea of same pinches. Or wearing our hair a particular way. We like to choose the perfect shade of blue to go with our whites, and our engines tuned to match our speed. We are filled with yeehaws and ready to saddle up. And we keep our SPURS ON just in case. We put our noses to the grindstone before hitting the trail. We believe in craft that has a human touch -devoid of anything routine or machinery. We like our CRAFT-WORK to have a BEATING HEART – one that matches the rhythm of yours. We stick to OLD-FASHIONED techniques where things are nurtured and crafted by hands – where conscience takes a call on perfection and what works best; where craft means handmade, not mass produced; where everything is born out of a CREATIVE EXPRESSION; a world that truly reflects you. In this world of conforming to modernity, we happily take a step back. In this world of ‘Me Toos’ and ‘Me Threes’, we prefer few things to be as much like OURSELVES as possible.

OUR MISSION
Harnessing creative talent and matching it perfectly with world-class premium materials and fine craftsmanship that celebrate the timeless art of traditional handcrafting and hand-stitching techniques, to promoting an elegant style of living.
"Our passion towards the craft comes from our own love for watches. While fine luxury is at the heart of what we do,
we design our products for all watch enthusiasts and leather buffs alike. Our products are made in small batches to ensure consistency in quality and uniqueness."​
~ Ankit Dasgupta
Founder & Creative Director
With a growing culture of watch collecting and the advent of new and better watch designs each day, it’s imperative for a good quality watch strap brand to come into the picture. It’s great for collecting and helps customise your favourite timepieces for that ‘perfect look’. While our main inspiration for leather crafting comes from our own passion for watches, we are constantly trying to innovate new products that can add a touch of creativity (with a whole lotta class) to your every day life. Our craft is a labour of love, care, hard work, persistence, and most importantly, time. At Bangtail, we like to create things that matter. Most importantly, things that matter to you.
