Three Sixty’s Vikash Gupta On Turning India’s Leather Legacy Into A Global Luxury Brand

Vikash Gupta, the founder of Three Sixty, spent 15 years in the B2B export business supplying leather goods to global brands. However, during his time studying in the US and working at a leather store, he recognized a significant gap in the market. He realized that the credit for the final product often went to international brands, not the Indian artisans or the quality of Indian leather itself. This realization sparked the idea to create a consumer brand that could showcase the true potential of Indian leather.

The premium leather bar cabinet is more than just a piece of furniture; it represents a shift in consumer perception towards products made in India. India's leather goods market has grown to $14 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $20.6 billion by 2034, driven by rising incomes and demand for premium products. The luxury leather segment is also experiencing steady growth as more consumers invest in high-quality, design-led products.

Three Sixty's success lies in striking a balance between traditional craftsmanship and modern demand for design-led, D2C brands. Many of its artisans have worked for the company for over 25 years, and the brand's "Scalable Craftsmanship" model ensures that hand-stitched and hand-finished techniques are preserved even as the brand expands into Tier II cities and product categories.

The brand's design philosophy blends global aesthetics with Indian leather-craft techniques such as hand-weaving and edge colouring, leading to collaborations with brands like Raymond’s, BMW, House of Glenfiddich, and Kapil Dev.
