About Us
“Bagman and Robin” is the name of our young company. We create handbags and many other accessories too, using unusual leather and vintage fabrics as well as contemporary materials.
B&R is based in Exmouth Market, a friendly pedestrian area of independent shops and restaurants. Our shop has a workshop at the back where customers can see how we make what we offer, and the materials we use.
Aside
from bags, we produce other lifestyle products, such as coasters, lampshades,
prints and door stops. The artwork on our lamps and coasters is inspired by
pieces from the K.W. Lee Collection whose original paintings are also on sale.

Traditional techniques of design and up-to-the-minute materials including contemporary leather are combined with Japanese kimono fabrics from different periods to create a unique and head-turning look.
We do not do a seasonal collection because we are constantly coming up with new designs. Our handmade bags all have their own details.
B & R makes limited edition bags using fabric from the 40’s and 50’s and deconstructed kimonos, they have to be produced in limited editions. But we are pleased to say that every piece in our shop is handmade and so one-of-a-kind.
