OUR STORY...

Established in 2015, byJAMES was created with the stylish and modern woman in mind. Our mission is to provide the perfect balance of simplicity and chicness, allowing her to effortlessly navigate the cobblestone streets of quaint towns without compromising her sense of style.

Crafted with care in Valladolid, Mexico, our leather sandals and bags are meticulously handmade with a timeless design. Every step of the process, from cutting the soles to shaping the straps and assembling the pieces, involves the skilled hands of our artisans and they dedicate their expertise at every step of the process. They proudly carry forward the ancient traditions that have been passed down through generations, infusing each pair of shoes with a unique touch of heritage.

For byJAMES, the true beauty lies in celebrating the essence of the classic, modern, and simple woman
