Our Philosophy
We have a passion to create something you are proud to carry. Artistry is at the heart of every design, every cut and every stitch. That is why every single bag is handmade by artists in the U.S.
"Every single bag by Duncan Maxwell is handmade to perfection"
you can enjoy the best. The artistry that goes into every one of our bags is pure passion and love. We perfect a design making dozens of prototypes, so we can give you a piece to be proud of.
A single silhouette can convey many different identities. The different rich colors and bold textures combine to make a bag that suits your individual aesthetic. From sleek elegance, to striking flamboyancy.
With meticulous craftsmanship paired with the best materials, a bag by Duncan Maxwell is truly a dream to touch and love.
"Nothing compares to luxury leather"
Leather is one of the most sustainable, durable, and beautiful materials that is used in fashion. Our world is littered with plastics. That is why we are not fond of vegan leather, and don't work with it.
We use only the highest grade leather, that not only looks, but also feels lavish and luxurious.
Vegetable tanned leather, which almost all our bag outers are made of, is a process of using leaves, tannins and other natural ingredients to cure the leather. As it absorbs oils from it's environment the leather starts to look better as it ages.
"Enjoy and have fun in what we do"
In our studio we love what we do, effortless flow is what we strive for. Working in a pleasant environment that conduces creativity and productivity.
Natural light, plants, art on the walls, combined with a clean workspace makes for a place we'd want to come work in which is very important for us.
