Crepdog Crew’s main man takes us behind closed doors
The big boss of India’s premier sneaker and streetwear platform Crepdog Crew is the best representation of his brand. An overall hypbeast who’s as particular about his fashion and sneaker choices as he is about his grooming routine and mental well-being. We find out more about what makes Anchit Kapil thrive.
How do you start your mornings?
Anchit Kapil: I usually wake up to the smell of coffee and fit in a quick yoga session before I commence work.
How do you like your coffee?
AK: I am very passionate about my coffee and like to handpick the right roast for the mood. My current favourite is Monsoon Malabar by Billi Hu.
What does breakfast look like?
AK: I am hardly a breakfast person. I do intermittent fasting, so the eating window begins around the evening.
What’s sitting on your bathroom shelf?
AK: My electronic toothbrush, body wash and face wash.
Your go-to grooming products?
AK: I am a simple guy, who’s just particular about two products: my favourite wash, which is Avene Cleanance and my hair wax by Kevin Murphy.

Your day and night fragrances?
AK: Maison Margiela fragrance for the day and Diptyque Tempo Eau de Parfum for the night.
Different news portals you check out in the morning?

Morning music
