The Story Behind the COURIER

Made in Schenectady, New York Since 1970

Every COURIER is hand-sewn in our upstate New York factory by craftspeople who've spent decades perfecting their trade. We're not a faceless manufacturer—we're a small team of skilled sewers who take pride in every stitch, every pocket placement, every reinforced seam. When you buy a COURIER, you're supporting American workers who believe in making things that last through careers, not just commutes.
