From Sri Lanka to the world.
A family in the leather trade since 1976. A brand built on that lineage in 2010. One name across every district in Sri Lanka, with sights set further.
From a wholesale counter to a brand.
KTN Enterprises opened in 1976, a family wholesale business. ABN Impex followed in 2010, built on that trade, and BIG CAT came with it.

Vision
Named for the cats that roar.
The name comes from the four great cats: tiger, lion, jaguar and leopard, the only cats that roar. The crest carries them; the products have to earn them.
The tagline means what it says. The mind is the strongest part of a man, and how he feels inside is how he carries himself outside. That is what the leather is for.
Every thread, every cut, and every finish represent the unbeaten supremacy of a man's mind.
What the name demands.
Six things we look for in a workshop. The same six a man is buying when he picks up the wallet.
Home first. Then outward.
