WALTER BAKER

Accomplished CPA, businessman, finance executive, husband and dad Walter Baker designed and launched his eponymous New York label three decades ago. Featuring smartly edgy, sexy, boldly imagined, luxuriously constructed ready-to-wear and accessories with a distinctive New York mover and shaker vibe, Walter Baker looks were soon flying off shelves and racks at premier retailers around the world, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, Anthropologie and more.

The core of Baker’s philosophy is a constant – style, quality and top-shelf luxury at an approachable price point. “We’re a proudly modern contemporary label with a designer sensibility,” says Baker.

Walter Baker blends sophistication and contemporary aesthetics, creating pieces that resonate with an exceptionally diverse style-minded clientele. The fine leather outerwear, stunning handbags and chic everyday apparel define and drive modern contemporary style.

For 30 years, Baker’s unique combination of savvy business acumen and natural eye for style have allowed the brand to flourish as others have disappeared.

“I’m in the business of making women beautiful,” Baker says, “and just like with any business, what separates the winners from the losers in fashion is an ability to predict and adapt to change better and faster than your competition. Today’s luxury and modern contemporary consumers care about how their garments are made and its impact on communities and the planet.

Walter Baker works exclusively with factories and tanneries that abide by ethical practices, health and safety standards, fair wage and workers’ rights. The brand cuts to order to minimize waste and decrease environmental impact. Walter Baker leather is produced with a minimum of water consumption and employs innovative eco-friendly processes such as chrome-free and vegetable tanning.
