In the Fall of 2017
In the Fall of 2017, three friends (now Co-Founders) from Pakistan quit their jobs and embarked on a journey of entrepreneurship with the mission to transform their lives by doing something meaningful and valuable, not just for themselves but for people around the world. Being from a developing country had its own challenges however that turned out be our greatest strength since Pakistan is not only home to one of the oldest leather tanneries but also to one of the finest craftsmen in the world.
It all started when we first visited a small, local manufacturing unit where we were awestruck by the high quality of jackets & coats being handmade by skilled artisans with such perfection and attention to detail that no machine could match. These handmade Jackets were unique, beautiful and something that had to be shared with the world. So, we did our research and found out that many of the designer brands were getting their jackets manufactured from developing countries like Pakistan and selling them for 5 to 10 times the cost due to layers & layers of middlemen and distributors involved. The customer ended up paying a fortune and the humble artisan who handcrafted the jacket was never mentioned. This was about to change! We spent the next few months designing a business model where we could cut out the middlemen & reach out to our customers directly. We also decided to keep our business 100% online to avoid all unnecessary costs. Our mission was to keep our costs low and pass on the economic benefit to our customers while giving due credit to the artisans who put in their handwork. Thus Hawk & Bull was born!
Fast forward to present: Like all start-ups we have had our rainy days, but the journey so far has been absolutely amazing! We never imagined that within a few short years we would have thousands of happy customers around the world, with official presence across 4 continents. This wouldn’t have been possible without the love and support of our customers, who not only keep our entire team motivated but also give us confidence to take on the big boys!
Thanks a lot for being part of our mission to “challenge the status quo of designer labels” & to “keep the art of handmade jackets alive” – CHEERS!
