Parker Clay

Parker Clay, a brand with a heart, weaves together craftsmanship, social impact, and timeless style. Let's delve into their story.

The Genesis: A Journey to Ethiopia

Founded by Ian Bentley and his wife, Brittany, Parker Clay's roots trace back to a transformative journey. One year after adopting their daughter from Ethiopia, the Bentleys relocated their family to Addis Ababa. Their mission? To work alongside vulnerable women and children, igniting change and empowerment.

Craftsmanship and Luxury

Parker Clay's goods are designed in Santa Barbara, California, but their true magic unfolds in Ethiopia. Here, they craft exquisite leather and handwoven products. The brand's commitment to quality shines through every stitch, every fold. Their bags—timeless, elegant, and meticulously crafted—bear witness to this dedication.

Economic Independence for Women

Beyond aesthetics, Parker Clay champions a profound purpose. They create opportunities for women to break free from the shackles of vulnerability. These women, often at risk, find dignified employment within the brand. Through fair wages, skills training, and career advancement, Parker Clay empowers them to escape exploitation and thrive.

Sustainable Leather, Ethical Choices

Parker Clay wears its sustainability badge proudly. As a certified B Corporation, they walk the talk. Their leather, handpicked for quality, forms the backbone of their luxury bags. But it's not just about aesthetics; it's about impact. Each purchase supports a ripple effect—women rising, communities strengthened, and a better world taking shape.

A Bag for a Better World

So, when you carry a Parker Clay bag, you're not just accessorizing; you're part of a movement. A movement that believes in beauty with purpose, in craftsmanship with compassion. As the sun-kissed Ethiopian landscapes inspire their designs, Parker Clay continues to redefine luxury—one stitch, one life at a time.
