Our Story

Having originally trained as a furniture designer, master craftsman Garvan de Bruir originally incorporated leather into his furniture collection. However, as his understanding of, and closeness to this timeless material grew, he has now developed a collection of leather bags and accessories.

Kildare has been synonymous with leather for hundreds of years as it is so important within the local equestrian industry.  The DE BRUIR Studio now combines those traditional craft skills with contemporary styling to create a collection of leather bags and accessories. Using simple structures and classic forms, the collection evokes a sense of history and tradition while still appearing modern and fit for purpose.
