J.D. Brandon is an independent leather atelier based in Victoria, British Columbia.

Each piece is made entirely by hand using traditional techniques. Handbags are created through a personal commission process, while small leather goods are offered in limited quantities and can also be made to order from a limited selection of leathers.

The June

The signature handbag of J.D. Brandon.

Named in honour of my grandmother, June is defined by its structured silhouette, distinctive flap and flared gussets.

Each one is cut, prepared and saddle stitched entirely by hand in the atelier.

The Maria

A softer expression of the J.D. Brandon handbag.

With rolled handles, a relaxed silhouette and understated closure, the Maria was designed to move easily between everyday life and more formal occasions.

Each one is made entirely by hand and lined in chèvre.
