Namesake

Namesake Namesake offers custom leather jackets to women who seek individuality and personal edge in design and in other aspects of life.

At Namesake we are not off-the-rack women, nor did we want our leather jackets to be. We created namesake to answer your need for individuality and personal edge in design, as in other aspects of your life. We invite you into our design studio to create a custom jacket that speaks to your sense of style, to the person you want to be when you slip into this second skin. The iconic leather jacket ha

s the power to make you feel a little more glamorous, wild, courageous, creative… whatever it is that you need. Every namesake jacket is made by hand in our Toronto atelier by designer Rosa Halpern. Named after two influential women herself -- Rosa Parks and Rosa Luxembourg -- Rosa has given each jacket the name of a woman who has left a powerful imprint on the world. As your jacket is worn in, broken down, stretched to fit, and scarred from adventure, it will carry your story forward, as we have carried the stories of our namesakes.

Different shoulders, different vibes.
Rosa walks through how shoulder structure changes the shape, proportion, and energy of a jacket — from softer and more relaxed to sharper and more defined 💋

The foundation of every piece starts with the leather, and black leather is what we are known for! Our founder, Rosa, walks you through three core black leathers: Rocky, Toro, Soho.

Not sure where to begin? We’re happy to guide you through the options, whether virtually or in the studio. 🖤
