While Others Changed Hands Five Times, Brix + Bailey Just Kept Going
The family-run independent brands marketplace marks fifteen years in business — still independently owned, still championing the brands that deserve to be discovered
LONDON / NEW YORK, March 2026 — Brix + Bailey, the curated global marketplace for independent brands across fashion, home, art and lifestyle, today marks fifteen years of operation — and takes the opportunity to remind anyone who's been paying attention that it has been here all along.
Founded in 2010 by two siblings with a handbag brand and considerable optimism, Brix + Bailey has quietly evolved into one of the most distinctive independent brand marketplaces operating between London and New York. With over 5,000 products from hundreds of handpicked brands, it serves conscious consumers who believe that where you spend your money matters.
The Independent Brand Moment
The independent brand sector has never been more important — or more fragile. As the platforms that were supposed to support independent makers have gone through ownership changes, payment failures and operational instability, the brands themselves have needed reliable, long-term partners more than ever.
Brix + Bailey was built around exactly this understanding. Every brand on the platform is handpicked. Every payment is made on time. Every partnership is treated as a long-term relationship, not a transaction.
"We've been independent makers ourselves. We know what it means to have a platform that actually champions your work rather than just listing it. That's the promise we've kept for fifteen years and intend to keep indefinitely." — Co-founders, Brix + Bailey
From London Studios to New York Ateliers
Operating between London and New York, Brix + Bailey curates independent brands from across the globe — Copenhagen studios, Parisian ateliers, Berlin workshops, Australian makers and Scandinavian designers alongside the best of British craft.
Unlike marketplace platforms focused exclusively on bricks-and-mortar retail, Brix + Bailey works with independent brands at every stage of their journey — from studio makers producing fifty pieces a month to established independent labels with international followings.
Curation With a Point of View
Brix + Bailey's curation goes beyond category. The platform's Shop by Purpose collections spotlight:
- Women-led brands — founded, run and built by women
- Family-owned businesses — built across generations with care that shows in every detail
- Ethical brands — transparent supply chains, fair wages, honest materials
- Sustainable makers — small batch, considered production, materials chosen with care
- Artisan and handmade — the original alternative to the high street
"How something is made is as important as what it is. We've always believed that, and our customers increasingly do too."
For Independent Brands
Brix + Bailey is actively seeking applications from independent brands across fashion, home, art and lifestyle. The platform is selective — evaluating each brand for craft, originality, quality and authentic point of view — and offers brands direct access to a curated global audience.
