Namesake offers custom leather jackets to women who seek individuality and personal edge in design and in other aspects of life.
At Namesake we are not off-the-rack women, nor did we want our leather jackets to be. We created namesake to answer your need for individuality and personal edge in design, as in other aspects of your life. We invite you into our design studio to create a custom jacket that speaks to your sense of style, to the person you want to be when you slip into this second skin. The iconic leather jacket has the power to make you feel a little more glamorous, wild, courageous, creative… whatever it is that you need. Every namesake jacket is made by hand in our Toronto atelier by designer Rosa Halpern. Named after two influential women herself -- Rosa Parks and Rosa Luxembourg -- Rosa has given each jacket the name of a woman who has left a powerful imprint on the world. As your jacket is worn in, broken down, stretched to fit, and scarred from adventure, it will carry your story forward, as we have carried the stories of our namesakes.
Honored to see SIDIA feature our bestselling Ali Budd Interiors x By The Namesake Joey Zebra bag (sold out, we know, we know) in their latest campaign.
Helmed by Toronto powerhouse and creative genius Erin Kleinberg , SIDIA is a brand we admire. Female-owned and female-loved, this one means a lot.
Good news: The Joey Zebra is coming back — and even better than before.
Comment “RESTOCK” and we’ll tell you the second it’s live.

By The Namesake, in Vogue.
Nearly everything we do comes back to one idea: clothing should feel personal. Something designed with you, not simply for you.
So incredibly special to have Vogue recognize our approach to bespoke alongside designers pushing the tradition of tailoring.
Thank you Christian Allaire for the beautiful feature and conversation. A very special moment for our atelier. xx

We’ve loved seeing you in Ali Budd Interiors x By The Namesake. The response to this collection has been the kind that reminds us why we make things by hand, with intention.
A handful of sizes remain—once they’re gone, they’re gone. And we have a feeling you’ll want these on hand for your August vacation looks.
