Who are we?

Founded in 1999, Allison Burns is a female-owned and operated brand, proudly based in Los Angeles. Everything we make is 100% sourced, designed and crafted in the USA, reflecting our commitment to quality and integrity.

Small production runs allow us to focus on the details that matter. The result is functional designs of quality and beauty, created to bring joy.

Our Commitment?

Our commitment to Allisons' vision involved working directly with family-owned factories in L.A. from the start. Now 26 years in, we are setting standards with our dedication to local craftsmanship. All of our leather goods are still produced in same Los Angeles leather goods factories we began with.

Supporting our local economy is at the heart of everything we do.

Who is Allison Burns?

Born amid the vibrant energy of ’70s New York and nurtured by a lifelong passion for design, she was inspired by the creative legacy of her family—a grandfather who crafted exquisite lace for high-end fashion houses and a mother who filled their home with the art of sewing. From an early age, Allison immersed herself in this world, learning to transform fabric and thread into unique expressions of style.

What began with crafting custom bags in her living room has grown into a brand built on passion and genuine creativity. Her cult-favorite designs artfully blend a modern edge with refined sophistication, each piece infused with character, soul, and a nod to her roots.

In 2024, Allison brought the Faithfull back—and dropped a full line for all genders. It marked a fresh era, born from loss and love. Her mother, muse, and biggest fan passed that year, and Allison honored her with the Joan Bag—a design full of heart and legacy. It sold out fast, charged with the same love Allison pours into everything she makes.

Now based in LA, she’s still fueled by music, art, and a deep love for shaking things up. Her motto?

"Look good. Feel good. Break the rules."
