About Bruden

Our Founder

Hello, I’m Denisha Bruce, the founder of Bruden Montreal. I started this journey in 2021, and since then, the brand has been growing steadily. My lifelong obsession with backpacks, paired with never feeling at home with handbags, inspired me to create Bruden. For years, I felt pressure to carry handbags to appear more feminine, but deep down, backpacks were always my preference. This experience fuelled my mission: to empower women to embrace backpacks—not just because they’re healthier for your body, but because they’re practical, stylish, and liberating. 

 

My designs draw inspiration from the backpacks I’ve loved over the years, as well as iconic designers like Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Betty Cooper, DKNY, and many others. Their influence helped shape my vision of what backpacks could truly be.

 

At Bruden, I aim to create backpacks that do more than just look good. Every design is purposefully crafted to enrich your daily life by being both fashionable and functional. I believe women should feel confident, elegant, and organized, with all their essentials at their fingertips. A Bruden backpack is more than an accessory—it’s a lifestyle upgrade.
