Voted Best Handbags by Down East Magazine!

100% Maine Made!

There is inherent beauty in something made one at a time and at Rough & Tumble, there is a commitment to the effort that this entails. Each bag is cut, stitched, and finished here at our studio in Brunswick, ME.

For years, each bag was made start to finish solely by our founder and designer, Natasha Durham, in her home studio. Today, bags are expertly stitched by a team of primarily professional quilters under the direction of Natasha and Production Manager, Louise.

Our signature mix of smart utility, archival form and rugged luxury materials marks an enduring vision of authentic, well resolved, and trend free design.

These collections, emphasize an understated luxury. They are a statement of visual balance, clean architecture and of course, what we are known for, high function.

Rough & Tumble continually sources special leathers, textiles, and custom fittings, ensuring a fast-changing palette of reinvented, unique and forward looks.

KIND WORDS FROM AUSTRALIA....
"Firstly, my bag looks exactly as it does in the pic.
Secondly, my bag arrived in Australia (!) way earlier than predicted, so in perfect time to pack for my forthcoming holiday.
Thirdly, the leather is great quality and the craftsmanship is clearly apparent in every little detail. I am so happy to have got exactly what I wanted - Thank you so much for listening to all of my needs and realising the final product exactly as I had hoped.
Kind Regards from Melbourne"

CUTEST NOTE EVER....
"I love my new bag! I raved about it so much that somebody made me a birthday cake that looked like the bag." - Jessica
