Experienced Purdy® Brushmakers Handcraft Every Paintbrush.

It is no secret that products with a reputation for quality are those that have withstood the test of time. Creating quality brushes is at our core.
We believe the finest tools require a personal touch, which is why Purdy paintbrushes have been handcrafted since the beginning. They’re made by skilled brushmakers and are individually marked with stickers bearing the name of the dedicated craftsperson standing behind them — still.

Many brushmakers have more than three decades of experience combining the finest raw materials — from rigorously lab-tested filaments to fine Alderwood handles — into precision professional-grade paintbrushes. Everyone from Pro painters to serious DIYers can feel confident the tool they’re using was made with the utmost attention to detail and tailored to meet their exacting standards, because it was crafted by someone who cares as much as they do.

The Purdy Difference
When constructing Purdy paintbrushes, our brushmakers use a variety of different filament combinations to deliver the ideal amount of flexibility, stiffness, cut-in ability, paint holding capacity and more. This ensures you always have the right applicator in hand for the job you’re tackling.

From one Pro to another, that’s what it’s all about — creating applicators that do more than just get the job done. Here, we’re handcrafting paintbrushes you can rely on to deliver premium experiences time after time for many jobs and projects.
