Spearheaded by Hemant Thacker and Kedar Gawde, Echké (Ech of Hemant + Ké of Kedar) was established in 2021. Known for its impeccable tailoring, fluid silhouettes and effortless style, Echké’s designs are for urban men and women who want to be distinctly dressed yet want to feel comfortable in their skin around the clock. Each gender-fluid piece is crafted with at least one distinct feature. The brand’s design philosophy revolves around creating individualistic pieces – not collections – inspired by real-life personalities that the founders interact with in their daily lives. The brand’s signature touches span statement zippers, rivets and eyelets featured on multi-duty styles crafted from pure fabrics.
