Private leather experiences and bespoke goods, built by hand in Maryland.
Darsh Khanna — Founder & Maker
One studio.
One maker.
DAK operates out of a working garage studio in Gaithersburg, Maryland. I build bespoke footwear and custom leather goods entirely by hand — and I host private, hands-on experiences for anyone who wants to make something real.
Make something
that lasts.
