ABOUT THE FOUNDER!
Gaurav Bhatia, the visionary behind Fellmonger, embarked on his entrepreneurial journey with a profound vision: to give India a taste of world-class quality in luxury leather footwear at affordable pricing. Observing a significant gap in the market, Gaurav identified the need for high-quality leather shoes that did not come with an exorbitant price tag. He recognized that many consumers were paying premium prices for leather footwear, driven more by brand names and appearances than by genuine value.
“I saw people paying handsome amounts for a pair of leather shoes. Some are just pleased by the look, some by the name of the brand. What they do not realize is that the shoes being bought are just severely overpriced,” Gaurav noted. He emphasized the importance of comfort, often overlooked in favor of brand prestige and aesthetics. “Moreover, the main concern is comfort. I see shoes as an investment rather than a buy. They take care of your feet while you take care of everything else,” he explained.
Gaurav’s philosophy is rooted in the belief that footwear is an essential investment. He articulated that a customer purchasing a Fellmonger product would truly get their money’s worth. “Our shoes aren’t inexpensively priced either, but I can assure you that a customer who buys a Fellmonger product would get every single penny’s worth,” he stated confidently. The brand promises that customers will be able to see and understand the essential components that constitute a leather shoe, differentiating the Fellmonger product from others on the market. “The customer will see and understand the essential components that constitute a leather shoe and the difference in the product he is purchasing at Fellmonger.”
Transparency is the cornerstone of Fellmonger’s operations. The company strives to build trust and credibility with its customers by being open about its processes and products. “Transparency is the key that drives us at Fellmonger. We want to build trust and credibility with our customers and spread the word of Fellmonger, a genuine leather brand that has arrived with a motive to offer India the luxury it deserves. We have something for everybody,” says Gaurav. This commitment to transparency is integral to spreading the word about Fellmonger, establishing it as a brand that aims to provide India with the luxury it deserves.
Attention to detail and aesthetics is at the heart of Fellmonger's design philosophy. The company is dedicated to constant innovation and staying in touch with global fashion trends. “Paying attention to details and aesthetics, that’s what we do. Constant innovations and staying in touch with the global fashion, Fellmonger will be your one-stop shop for exquisite designs at amazing prices,” explains Gaurav.
