Brandon Blackwood New York is a designer handbag and accessories brand founded by Brandon Blackwood, a Jamaican-American designer who launched his first handbag line in 2015. His first bag, the Portmore backpack, was made in New York City.
The brand drew international attention in 2020 with its "End Systemic Racism" mini tote, with a portion of proceeds going to the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Since then it has grown into a full collection of contemporary bags and accessories, and has been carried by retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, Selfridges and Shopbop.
Shoppers can buy directly through the brand's website and mobile app, which also offer a rewards and VIP program and a resale program for pre-owned pieces. Brandon Blackwood New York serves customers nationwide looking for polished, statement-making bags from a Black designer based in New York.
The brand's story began small: Blackwood saved money, formed his company with help from his mother and a friend, and got early press when he showed his first bag to a magazine editor. Today the label releases new styles regularly, and customers can reach the brand by email for order questions.
