Moncrief is an ancestral name belonging to the founders of the company. The Moncrief’s were part of “The Picts Clan”, a mysterious warrior people of ancient Britain, who were very early nomadic travellers that migrated from France in the 15th Century.

They sailed to Ireland but were refused permission to settle there by the ancient Kings of that land but were granted permission to settle in the Northeastern part of Scotland on the condition that each Pictish King marry an Irish Princess, thus providing the Irish with a colony whose rulers were of royal Irish blood. This Pictish settlement was ruled by the matriarchal hierarchy unlike any other form of government in British history.

Moncrief is a British luxury brand who’s origins began in high end luggage and leather accessories.  We believe that true luxury is felt in how something is made, not just how it looks. Moncrief handbags continue to be the heart of the collection, along with our ready to wear range. We continue to source premium materials chosen for their durability, texture, and character. Leather and cashmere are staples of our ready to wear collections and attention to detail is never an afterthought. We believe that true luxury is felt in how something is made, not just how it looks. Our ready to wear collection is showcased in our Moncrief London store which opened its doors in summer 2025.

Beyond our ready to wear collection, we offer a Moncrief Bespoke range, made to order and created in Italy. Our bespoke pieces combine with age old artisan skills and the finest accessories available, create a timeless collection with exceptional craftmanship. Moncrief bespoke oozes with elegance and we wouldn’t be Moncrief bespoke without the passion of the extraordinary artisans whose skilled hands brings the designs to life. They are like alchemists, taking the ultimate raw materials and creating exquisite products designed to be used and treasured forever. Each skin is carefully inspected and then cut by hand, ensuring only the best pieces are used. A highly skilled lacquering expert creates a perfect finish on the beautiful bag. We believe that true luxury lies in the confidence you exude when wearing something that is authentically you.
