    J & M Davidson


    John and Monique Davidson launched the label in 1984. The label has grown from a first collection of exclusive, hand crafted belts to encompass handbags, small leather goods, clothing and knitwear. The clear vision they had for the company then, endures to this day. Luxurious leather, knits and fabrics; hand stitching and perfect tailoring have always been essential qualities. It is the evolving, sometimes eclectic aesthetic, that makes every J&M Davidson piece so unique and so covetable. This is undoubtedly due to the complementary talents John and Monique bring to their partnership. English eccentricity combines with French chic; classicism pairs with modernism; traditional craftsmanship partners constantly evolving design. Today J&M Davidson has an enthusiastic international following, and shows collections in London, Paris and Tokyo. The full range of J&M Davidson can be seen and purchased at their shops in London and Tokyo.
