Atelier Penny James is a Vancouver studio specializing in fine leather goods.
Committed to preserving traditional French craftsmanship, each piece is cut, saddle-stitched, and finished by hand.
We prioritize precision through the intentional crafting of a few, highly considered pieces, made from the finest materials. We don’t focus on producing more, we focus on producing better.
All our pieces are saddle-stitched by hand using traditional methods, offering strength and durability machines can’t match.
Each piece of leather is precisely cut by hand to maintain its natural integrity.
Every item is meticulously finished by hand to accentuate the leather’s beauty and showcase its distinctive character.
We reserve bench time for fully bespoke work, creating objects defined by your specific needs rather than our current collection. From the initial sketch to the final saddle-stitch, the piece is engineered solely for you.
Choose your preferred leather, explore our palette of colors, pick the perfect thread, and personalize with foil stamping. Each commission is handcrafted to these exact requirements, ensuring no two pieces leave the bench looking the same.
From supple French hides, to the rich patina found in Italian leathers, we have thoughtfully curated a range of different textures and finishes from the top tanneries around the world.
