The Confluence of Vision and Craftsmanship

In a world where artistry and craftsmanship often intersect but rarely merge, Peter Nitz Atelier and James Banks Design have united to create something truly extraordinary. This merger symbolizes the harmonious blend of two distinct yet complementary visions, each rooted in a deep commitment to hand-crafted excellence and innovative design.

Peter Nitz Atelier

Peter Nitz, a master artisan with a profound respect for tradition and a flair for the avant-garde, established his atelier with the intention of pushing the boundaries of luxury. His work is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail and a visionary approach to leather craftsmanship, creating pieces that are not just accessories, but works of art.

James Banks Design

Founded by Heidi Fink and Adam Shulman, James Banks Design has always been synonymous with meticulous craftsmanship and creative ingenuity. Every piece is a reflection of the founders’ passion for detail and their dedication to creating timeless jewelry that tells a story. The brand’s signature style—a fusion of bold elegance and intricate detailing—has garnered a devoted following among those who appreciate art in its most wearable form.

A Unified Vision

Together, Peter Nitz Atelier and James Banks Design have created a new chapter in luxury craftsmanship. This collaboration is not merely a merger of two brands; it is the creation of a unified vision that celebrates the beauty of hand-made artistry. The fusion of Peter Nitz’s mastery of leathercraft with James Banks’ jewelry expertise offers a collection that is both innovative and timeless, designed for those who seek the extraordinary.

Each piece in our collection is made in limited quantities, with each color and hardware combination available in a limited run. This ensures that every item is as unique as the individual who owns it.

Our journey has always been about more than just creating beautiful objects; it’s about honoring the legacy of craftsmanship while embracing the future of design. With this merger, we are excited to continue our tradition of excellence, now with an expanded range of exquisite, hand-crafted pieces that resonate with the stories and values we hold dear.

Welcome to a new era of luxury.
