Ellington is a group of dedicated people working out of a little building in Portland, Oregon. We may be a small crew, but we dream big, and we're ready to change the world—one bag at a time.

When we're not at work, we're musicians, writers, and artists; sailors, cyclists, and marathon runners; moms and dads and aunties and uncles; cooks and gardeners and avid knitters. We think life is an adventure, and a good handbag should carry whatever you need, wherever your adventures take you. We create each bag to be your perfect companion; the one you want by your side every day, whether you're picking out veggies at the local farmer's market or boarding a plane to Budapest. Just enough pockets, but not too many. A strap that fits on your shoulder as if it was made just for you. Luxurious leathers and fabrics that feel good, look good, and wear well. But what about style? Don't worry—we've got you covered. We know that looking good feels good, so we focus on classic-chic designs that you'll feel good carrying not only for a season, but for years and years.

We want every Ellington handbag to be your "forever bag." Because at Ellington, we like to think that we don't just make handbags—we make friends for life.
