ROYCE New York Monogramming & Leather Accessories

What ROYCE New York Monogramming & Leather Accessories does

ROYCE New York is a four-generation family-owned leather goods company founded by Harold Bauer in 1974 in New York City, with craftsmanship roots tracing to the 1880s in Vienna, Austria. The company designs, sources, and sells premium personalized leather accessories including RFID-blocking wallets, passport cases, luggage tags, travel organizers, journals, business card holders, tech accessory cases, duffel bags, jewelry cases, wine carriers, and pet accessories. Core technology is the integration of US Government FIPS 201 approved RFID-blocking shielding material sewn into product linings, with newer product extensions incorporating Apple AirTag and Tile Bluetooth tracking integration plus MagSafe-compatible phone card sleeves.

ROYCE monetizes through a multi-channel model: direct-to-consumer e-commerce at royce.us (product prices ranging from approximately $15 for small accessories to $800+ for weekender duffels, with free monogramming and free US shipping), owned-in-store boutiques at Saks Fifth Avenue NYC and Beverly Hills and Bloomingdale's 59th Street flagship, wholesale through Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom, and Neiman Marcus, and a B2B corporate gifting service offering custom logo imprinting, volume pricing, 48-hour rush completions, and on-site live monogramming event activations for Fortune 500 clients including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, American Express, Google, Salesforce, Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Etihad, Turkish Airlines, and Emirates.

The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, PE/VC funding, or institutional shareholders. Distribution, marketing, and corporate gifting are supported by earned media in Vogue, NYT, GQ, Harper's Bazaar, Wall Street Journal, and NBC Today Show features, plus CFDA and Female Founder Collective partnerships. Operations are US-focused (North America only) with seasonal pop-up expansion and experiential event activations.
