This piece is sure to make heads turn with the cartoon eyes made from LEGO bricks, and the quirky soft leather ruffles.

This one certainly looks sturdy and will make for a trusty accessory for pretty much any occasion – it’s no wonder that Ghurka is a line of leather goods inspired by the army gear of a British Gurkha commander.
