A one of a kind design experience with rough & tumble
"Rough & Tumble was founded in 2008 by artist and entrepreneur, Natasha Durham, with the idea of creating handbags “that deliver a purposeful mix of visual balance, and high function to achieve trend-free, heirloom-quality designs”. Durham designs each style with assistance from the production director, Louise Gartland, and their team of Makers. Rough & Tumble commits themselves to producing one of a kind bags, one at a time, in Maine, sourcing and training the entire production team and pulling from local talent."

The Maine-based company with a flagship store in Portland and design studio in Brunswick makes handmade bags you can design entirely yourself, combining the worlds of high-end fashion and technology to create a unique and highly personable customizable luxury brand experience.
