At the helm of RomberJames, James Norton serves as the founder and designer, seamlessly blending artistry and craftsmanship to create a collection defined by timeless luxury. With an innate passion for elegance and innovation, his distinct aesthetic is woven into every piece. Born and raised amidst the rolling vineyards of Sonoma County, California, James was immersed in creativity from and early age. His artistic journey has spanned interior design projects across the United States, earning national recognition for his extravagant dinner parties and meticulously curated tables capes.

“Whether I’m designing a space, setting an elegant table or sketching a handbag, I find endless jo in the creative process – transforming an idea into a work of beauty,” Norton reflects.

Drawing upon his extensive background in design – both in interiors and fashion – he began sketching handbags that married classic elegance with modern sensibility. Those early illustrations evolved into meticulously crafted patters, culminating in a collection that epitomizes luxury. Though the materials are sourced from around the world, he remained steadfast in his commitment to American craftsmanship, ensuring every handbag is handcrafted in the United States by master artisans.
