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. With our commitment to excellence extending beyond our product, every leather keepsake is quality-checked, hand-wrapped and delivered with care. You’ll find our dedicated customer care team is on hand to help with any assistance you may need, no matter how big or small.
Attainable luxury, maintaining and exceeding the quality of materials and construction at a reasonable price.

Our signature full-grain leather is vegetable-tanned in Italy using time-honoured methods that preserve the hide’s natural depth and character. The result is a quietly luxurious material with remarkable resilience and a refined, understated lustre that develops a rich, personal patina over time. We source only select Italian hides certified by the Italian Vegetable-tanned Leather Consortium and carry its Quality Trademark & Guarantee - a distinction held by fewer than 1.5% of Italian tanneries. Chosen for structure, suppleness and longevity, this is leather crafted to accompany your professional life for decades.
Open the bag and you’ll find what sets it apart: a full-leather interior, not fabric. We line each piece with saddle-weight, vegetable-tanned Italian leather selected for exceptional abrasion resistance, shape retention, and a quiet lustre that deepens as it patinates. Hand-finished and neatly edge-bound, this atelier-grade lining offers the same refined tactility as the exterior while safeguarding devices and documents. Naturally breathable and supportive, it helps regulate the interior environment and reinforces the bag’s structure through long days and longer journeys. Consciously sourced from the inner dermis of our vegetable-tanned hides, it honours the whole leather and minimises waste. The result is a distinctive, heirloom-level interior engineered for years of elegant service.
