Ash Gangotra is an established, award winning Menswear Designer from Nottingham and the founder of Gangotra 1916, Nottinghamshire’s premier luxury tailoring house.
Renowned for crafting Made to Measure suits, shirts, ties and handcrafted shoes, Gangotra 1916 blends heritage craftsmanship with modern elegance to define the region’s sartorial benchmark
With over 35 years shaping British menswear, Ash’s influence is woven into every garment. His work has been worn across the world, reflecting a lifelong devotion to design, detail and the art of tailoring. His career includes being an original founding member and designer of Liam Gallagher’s Pretty Green label, serving as Design Director at Bosideng UK and served as a creative force behind Holland Esquire.
Today, Gangotra 1916 stands as a tribute to his family’s tailoring lineage, a living homage to his late grandfather, a first generation tailor born in 1916. Every piece honours that legacy, stitching tradition into contemporary refinement.
The brand’s signature colours, purple and yellow, are drawn from the rare Gangotra Flower, a bloom found only in these two hues and native to the Gangotra region of the Himalayas in Northern India.
This singular flower not only inspires the brand’s identity but reflects the ancestral cradle of the Gangotra name, distinctive, rooted in heritage and beautifully one of a kind.
In the same way, each tailored piece is crafted to be uniquely singular, an expression of heritage, individuality and enduring elegance.
