About US
Since the 1880s, the Bauer family has been dedicated to crafting high-quality leather goods with exceptional artistry and precision. What began as a family-run business has grown across generations, adapting to changing times while staying true to a singular vision: creating functional, beautifully made travel accessories designed to make every journey smoother and more enjoyable. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship and timeless design remains at the heart of everything we do. Expert Craftsmanship in Every Detail We believe the true art of leather goods lies in the details. Our designs are clean, streamlined, and intentionally minimalist — which means every element, from precisely turned corners to meticulously edge-painted finishes, is handled with the utmost care. We source only the finest American genuine leather, and every piece in the ROYCE collection is thoughtfully constructed — some might even say painstakingly — to ensure durability, beauty, and function. You’ll notice something else about our products: our logo is intentionally discreet. While we’re proud of the Bauer family legacy and the values we stand for, we believe the focus should always be on you— your name, your style, your journey. Social Responsibility and Ethical Practices At ROYCE, responsibility extends far beyond our products. We carefully select every material — from hardware to ink and glue — not only for its quality but also for its environmental impact. Our supply chain is built on strong, long-term relationships with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical labor practices. We work closely with these partners to ensure that our sourcing systems uphold the highest standards of fairness and integrity. In our local community, we’re proud to partner with organizations that create employment opportunities for underprivileged and vulnerable individuals. These partnerships are a vital part of our mission to drive meaningful, lasting change. And within our own ROYCE family, we foster a collaborative and inclusive workplace where every voice matters. We encourage open dialogue, diverse perspectives, and the free exchange of ideas — because we know that innovation thrives when everyone is empowered to contribute. At ROYCE, we don’t just make travel accessories. We craft experiences, uphold values, and build a legacy — one carefully made piece at a time.
