Preserving the most ancient human legacy.
The RG brand was created in Vancouver, BC by a couple who decided to share their passion for handmade products and sustainable living. In 2020, Rodney and Rindala took a jump into design and what comes around it. If you haven’t met them yet, picture them as travelers and life lovers, looking to be as independent as possible, living life close to nature with high regards to preserving craftsmanship, the most ancient human knowledge handed down by generations of farmers and artisans. RG products reflect an attachment to natural elements and to small scale manufacturing. Remember your parents’ story on when they used to get their measurements taken for shoes? RG aims to reconnect you with this feeling of knowing that something is being made specifically for you. RG products are made with premium materials, a minimalist design aesthetic, and high attention to the details. We make leather goods that would satisfy your senses. Simple yet elegant is what the RG brand is all about.
The workshop
Our design
We create simple and useful designs for people like us who have a sense for fashion and whose styles do not fit commercial retail options. RG's goods were given time and thought and were crafted into unique pieces to give your senses the pleasure of carrying a fine leather product. Our designs stand out from gender and age stereotypes and we appeal to all those who like natural elements and practicality. We use our craftsmanship to make custom made products and bespoke orders, so get in touch if you feel like being an RG designer for a day.
Our stunning leather
Our goods are made using high quality leather that was mainly tanned with tree barks and other natural elements. Every piece is fully cut and stitched by hand then finished with our all natural, in-house made, leather conditioner. Few months after you start exposing your RG leather good to air and skin oils, a beautiful patina will start forming naturally. The leather will become darker with a soft sheen while exposing natural markings such as scarring, blemishes and stretch marks.
Our promise
From beginning to end, we promise you a great customer service and a product that will make your heart skip a beat. We put a lot of passion in what we do and our products are unique in matter of finishing and attention to details. You will unpack your order as if you were opening a birthday present.
At RG we try our best to observe sustainable living principles. Rodney our headmaster of crafts, started the workshop by making pouches and wallets from repurposed leather. If you have any leather clothing that you would like to see reused and repurposed, do get in touch, we can give it a new life!
