The story of a maker

PORTMAN is a bespoke leather maker founded in the scenic High Park area. A modern take on tradition, Martin Portman continues to push the envelope on creating one of a kind pieces. With design inspiration from lush forests and a deep rooted respect for craftsmanship, the workshop is the very heartbeat where everything comes together.

Sustainability, quality and classic design principles are the very heart of every creation made by PORTMAN. To PORTMAN, the term luxury stems from every part of the bespoke experience. From the one on one collaboration, the extensive catalogue of leathers and hardwares, to the very details that are only possible going bespoke, this is where PORTMAN prides itself to be.

The ever evolving collection of Bespoke pieces

The sway of a tree in the forest, the curves of a sports car, the functionality of a lock from days gone by.

The inspiration from every piece in the current collection always carries a unique story. For every Bespoke client, a piece should compliment your style and tell a little bit about your story.
