Introducing Epigraph
Words set to Last
THUUN stands for the pillar: strength held with patience, art shaped by craft, stories carried across time. That’s the spirit here. An epigraph is an inscription: a line set before what follows—cut with intent, meant to endure.
Epigraph is where we set those first lines for the achiever’s 9-to-9 life—through heat & chill, dust & grime, long workdays & evening outings, commutes & flights—calm, useful writing that holds up under use. No noise, no posturing; just clarity that helps your day stand taller and last longer. We discuss the challenges with current footwear especially for the usages, our feet anatomy & the various comfort related aspects. Understanding the science behind the same is critical. We also evaluate the various materials & its benefits for footwear. We lay a special emphasis on leather which we believe is the most versatile & apt material. We dispel the various myths associated with leather & also help with driving awareness on the right type of leather best suited for the use cases & do our bit to act as a trusted source in the sea of misinformation.
Think of Epigraph as the quiet preface to everything we do & plan to do: intent made visible, cut clean, set to last.
