Justine and Kendall Barber
Co-founders
Sisters who founded Poppy Barley in Edmonton in 2012, according to the maker’s story.
The story & the craft.
Sisters Justine and Kendall Barber started Poppy Barley in Edmonton in 2012. The business combines footwear and leather accessories with an emphasis on choosing a workable fit. Its Canadian design connection is distinct from production: the maker identifies factories in Mexico and Europe.
The Laid Back Loafer offers leather and suede versions, with medium and wide options across the advertised size range. The Plateau bag family uses an adjustable double-buckle strap to change between shoulder and crossbody carrying. These are useful starting points for a work wardrobe or an everyday bag, with the exact dimensions, finish and variant left to the maker’s listing.
Rather than guessing a shoe width or bag capacity from a photograph, use the concierge contact page for sizing and order questions. Canadian store appointments provide another route to assessing a fit. A listed style does not mean every size or colour is available.
What they make & offer.
The Plateau Bags

Check the exact size, width, material and current stock before ordering. Ask about store appointments and the applicable delivery and return terms.
The Canadian connection.
Founded in Edmonton in 2012 by sisters Justine and Kendall Barber. Designed in Canada; the maker identifies manufacture in Mexico and Europe, not Canadian manufacture.
