Introducing...

The Royal Bank of McD or R.B. of McD is a leather goods house & luxury accessories company founded by Los Angeles based designer and gentleman John McDavid Lehman with one simple goal in mind…”design and manufacture beautiful things, period!”

After almost a decade of handbag experience, John launched R.B. of McD in the winter of 2010 with the intent on highlighting craftsmanship and impeccable design, all while helping to uplift and maintain the Black voice in the design space both here and with his other projects McMarden and DAVEY.

“I have always said, If I cannot find something I love…I’ll make it!” Obviously, this is an over simplification of the process. A process that requires a great deal of luck, time and talent, yet it is still a sentiment we believe in deeply. In a world that is ever growing, the idea of carving out a little space to craft things that are tremendously personal and share them with the like-minded seems to be shrinking. The trend is to instantly go mass or bust and that has never been the intent over here at R.B. of McD HQ.

As we begin a new year…a new decade, it felt apropos that we refresh, celebrate and give thanks, for many of you have been with us since the very beginning. We appreciate your support over the last eleven years, your loyalty to the brand and our overall aesthetic. We are excited to share all of the new things with you…new silhouettes, share new color palettes and create a stronger dialogue with you all. Here’s to ten…eleven more years!

Cheers,

R.B. HQ
