Swaine Adeney was founded in London in the 19th century, by James and Edward Swaine. Following a successful exhibition (and numerous prize medals won) in the newly built Crystal Palace in 1851, they went on to show good in a Paris exhibition in 1900. Joining forces with a nearby company, Thomas Brigg & Son's, during WWII, they formed Swaine Adeney Brigg & Sons Limited and have been producing high quality, hand-made leather goods ever since. In 1997 they acquired Papworth Travel Goods (formerly Pendragon Travel Goods), a long established manufacturer of travel and leather goods, amongst other items.
