Becoming the most loved bag brand in the world.
The story of our family-run business began in 2002 with a love for quality, long-lasting products. Our founder, William Forshaw, built Maxwell-Scott on the core pillars of superior durability and impeccable craftsmanship. Since that very day, we’ve made it our mission to bridge the gap between refined leather accessories and lifetime wear.
Inspired by the timeless charm of Italian leather and the classic elegance of British design, we use only the finest full-grain, vegetable-tanned Vachetta leather to craft our products. Our method is simple: honour generations of leather craft and obsess over every last detail.
Our industry-leading 25-year warranty combined with excellent customer service has earned Maxwell-Scott a worldwide reputation for superior durability and authentic quality.
