The Atelier

Atelier Penny James is the work of Mackenzie Dunham, an independent craftsman producing fine leather goods by hand in Vancouver.

Production is deliberately limited. The work is unhurried and meticulous — in the tradition of French leathercraft.

ARTISANAL VALUES

Anchored in artistry

For Mackenzie, leathercraft is an art, and he is the artisan. Atelier Penny James is a byproduct.

He draws from the same principles he admires in design, music, film, and architecture: that the most timeless work is often the most restrained, executed without compromise.

“Premium materials, time-honoured techniques, and an exceptional final product. Our clients have high standards. We hold ourselves to the same ones.”

– Mackenzie Dunham, Owner & Leather Craftsman

Leatherworking tools are neatly arranged on a wooden workbench, including awls, knives, a hammer, thread, needles, stamps, and a roller, suggesting a handcrafted leather goods workspace.
