Saskia & Rose

Saskia & Rose was born in 2017 by two York girls, Suzanne and Francesca. We noticed the gap for a beautiful and affordable leather handbag brand that the busy woman (like ourselves) could throw all her precious belongings into and wear both day and night. With handbags still at the heart, Saskia & Rose has evolved over the years into jewellery including delicate bracelets, statement necklaces and watches. Our focus is to give our customer timeless investment pieces to cherish forever.

The product range includes handbags, business bags, luggage, wallets, purses and more luxury leather goods. Every single Maxwell-Scott item is lovingly handcrafted from premium full grain leather by skilled artisans in Italy.

As a member of the Genuine Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium, Maxwell-Scott’s cowhides are dyed with tannins derived from tree bark rather than toxic substances. This means that there is a respectful and natural finish to all Maxwell-Scott leather which only improves with age as it develops a unique patina over time.
