Built by Hand. Backed by History.

What started in a Portland, Oregon, garage in 1925, when S. Desmond Purdy handcrafted his first brush, has grown into a brand trusted by Pros. For 100 years, Purdy has stayed true to its roots, continuing to handcraft brushes with a commitment to quality and tools that elevate the way painters work. That purpose-driven innovation is what continues to set Purdy apart—then, now and for the next hundred years.
