Are Studio is a small Los Angeles company making leather bags, belts and small goods, plus occasional limited clothing runs. Founder Cecilia Bordarampé designs each piece, and the leather goods are made by a family-owned leather workshop about a mile from the brand’s downtown studio. The clothing is cut and sewn in Los Angeles from deadstock fabric bought locally.
The Los Angeles production is described consistently on the brand’s site and in a 2020 interview the founder gave to Voyage LA. What neither source says is where the cowhide is tanned. The tannery is described but not named, so the record sits at the second mark with the leather’s origin left open.
