The Frederic St James Story

Welcome to Frederic St James, where we celebrate the love for exquisite leather bags sourced from around the world. Our journey began in 2021, inspired by a profound appreciation for quality, craftsmanship, and the timeless charm of leather.

Our founder, a seasoned traveller and a lover of all things leather, realised that the world was full of hidden gems in the form of masterful artisans creating extraordinary leather bags. They remained undiscovered and unappreciated due to the geographical and communication barriers that existed. Our mission is to bridge this gap, connecting these talented artisans with the discerning global customers who value and appreciate their craft.

At Frederic St James, we're more than just a marketplace for quality leather bags; we're a global community passionate about high-quality craftsmanship and design. We work closely with artisans, celebrating their unique skills and traditions, and bringing their work to a worldwide audience.

Each bag we present is carefully handpicked and curated, ensuring it meets our stringent quality standards. We have travelled to the hidden corners of Italy, the vibrant markets of Morocco, the heartlands of Argentina and beyond to unearth these rare and remarkable pieces.

Our collection offers a range of styles, from the classic to the contemporary, the understated to the eye-catching. But they all have one thing in common: they are testament to the love, skill, and time invested by the artisans who create them. It's this quality that we believe sets our bags apart.

At Frederic St James, we believe in responsible sourcing and fair trade. Each of our partnerships is built on a foundation of mutual respect, with a commitment to ensuring fair payment and working conditions for the artisans we work with. We are proud to be part of a movement that values and supports artisanal work, and promotes the continuity of traditional craft techniques.

We're committed to offering a seamless, personalised shopping experience for our customers. Our dedicated customer service team is always ready to help with any queries or assistance you may need.
