About Rory Friday

Rory Friday is an indie leather label focused on small-batch leather wares with a quiet, considered edge. Each piece is made by hand in limited runs, using unlined leather and minimal finishing to let the material speak for itself. The work is clean but not precious…functional objects with subtle character, designed to age, soften, and carry use. Going forward into 2026, smalls will be the focus. The line blends modern restraint with a nod to retro utility. Shapes are simple, proportions intentional, and details are pared back. Rather than seasonal collections, Rory Friday releases thoughtfully edited pieces that feel timeless and adaptable across spaces from everyday carry to curated retail environments. Rory Friday has found a natural home in museum shops, galleries, and boutiques that value material integrity, form, and storytelling over trend-driven design. Every piece is made slowly, in small quantities, with an emphasis on longevity, tactility, and quiet individuality. Ethos: • Sustainably minded (leather is a natural, durable material) • No waste - - every scrap is used • Small-batch and made-to-order • One-woman studio • One-of-a-kind designs • Made to last - - Slow MadeRead their story
