Derek Alexander Group

Calgary, Alberta Canada-based Derek Alexander’s line of handbags, small leather goods, and business and travel accessories slowly grew from modest beginnings in 1988 into “Canada’s premier supplier of accessories,” according to Dodie Teather. “Drum dyed cowhide, which is our signature leather, is available in each category and man-made leather substitutes are not used anywhere in our product line,” she says. Slowly rolling the hides in vegetable-based dyes and other natural tanning agents provide the rich character and great touch that account for the popularity of this leather. Although it is best known for drum dyed cowhide, the company uses several leather tanning processes and a wide range of styles. “We have one of the largest leather lines in North America,” says Teather. “Our abundant selection truly gives consumers an excellent opportunity to find an item that suits their individual needs and tastes.”

According to Teather, Derek Alexander focuses on a careful blend of quality materials, superior construction techniques, exceptional design, and moderate price points. “Our accessories are designed and produced much like a quality automobile; we believe product design, details, and features should not stop outside. A careful look inside any Derek Alexander bag reveals pockets, compartments, organizational features, and finish detailing that is unmatched in the industry. This is truly an area of quality and design that sets our products apart from others. It is rare to see a competing manufacturer that devotes the resources to the inside of a leather accessory better than Derek Alexander does.”
