The Backward Vendor does not rely on or look to current trends. The brand looks to traditional craft, to traditional techniques, to handmade process and to design.

The Backward Vendor’s design concept is rooted in everyday life; work, leisure, travel history, our world. The brand designs and creates quality handmade leather shoes, bags, garments and homeware using only raw and naturally dyed materials.

Their collections are made with the purpose of guiding, informing and introducing the art of handmade, and the perfect imperfections of leather.

Situated in Hackney, London, the brand’s studio primarily functions as a showroom and leather workshop space.
