I could not be happier with the craftsmanship and serious leather of my bag. I expect to have it the rest of my life. I used to envy that Birkin bag that Martha Stewart brought to her trial stuffed with papers. I hope I never have to stuff this one with papers but if I did it would be just as all-purpose cool.
Picture an artists studio with a cute and perfectly curated storefront mix of leather goods and highly curated local art. If youre lucky, youll find the maker of these beautiful leather goods in her studio, carefully making her goods to order. If you want to see some of the best Portland designers all in one place, the 811 Design Center, where xobruno is located, is a must!
The only thing better than hand-crafted leather goods is being able to see those very hands cutting and constructing the pieces right before your eyes! This sunny studio/shop is a must for visitors and locals looking for that perfect bag!
I love the work by xobruno! If you like good quality, good design and a product that will get you a lot of compliments, look no further. The shop is a studio space as well which is such an inspiring space and then she has some amazing art shows that really makes this tiny shop a true gem.
A singular vision for the contemporary use of leather in accessories. Her handmade pieces are exquisite, as are the other curated selections of art she facilitates with makers like Momo Meow. Well worth a visit.
Had a custom guitar strap made and the thing is beautiful. Still wondering why I suffered for so long using commercially available/guitar center specials. My wife also uses an XObruno purse as her daily driver. Highly recommended and will definitely shop again!
I love the designs of these leather bags and goods, and they’re all exquisitely handmade. They also have wonderful rotating art shows and their studio/shop is interesting to visit and see how they make all their goods.
Amazing handmade leather goods made right there in the shop! Also lovely curated selection of local handmade art, jewelry, and ceramics.
I was looking for an anniversary gift for my girlfriend and wanted a messenger bag that could hold a Macbook Pro 15. I called Xobruno and the owner was beyond awesome. She didnt have any Dumaines in stock, but then found a one-off she did and offered to let me buy that. I met at her shop to test-fit the Macbook and bought the (amazing and well built) bag. My girlfriend loved it but wanted a slightly lighter color. The owner happily offered to do an exchange and let us pick a leather of our choosing from her selection to craft us a bespoke new one. Absolutely stellar to work with and the bag is of exceptional quality.
Everything in this shop is well-made and so beautiful. So glad I found this hidden gem!
