While Others Changed Hands Multiple Times, Brix + Bailey Just Kept Going
The family-run independent brands marketplace has been trading since 2012, still independently owned, still championing the brands that deserve to be discovered.
LONDON / NEW YORK — Brix + Bailey, the curated global marketplace for independent brands across fashion, home, art and lifestyle, has been trading since 2012, and takes the opportunity to remind anyone who has been paying attention that it has been here all along.
Founded in 2012 by two siblings with a handbag brand and considerable optimism, Brix + Bailey has quietly evolved into one of the more distinctive independent brand marketplaces operating between London and New York. With thousands of products from hundreds of handpicked brands, it serves customers 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 meant 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. Payments go out on schedule. Every partnership is treated as a long-term relationship rather than a transaction.
"We have been independent makers ourselves. We know what it means to have a platform that champions your work rather than just listing it. That is the promise we have kept since 2012 and intend to keep." 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 marketplaces focused exclusively on bricks-and-mortar retail, Brix + Bailey works with independent brands at every stage, from studio makers producing fifty pieces a month to established labels with international followings.
Curation With a Point of View
Brix + Bailey's curation goes beyond category. The 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 the 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 have always believed that, and our customers increasingly do too."
For Independent Brands
Brix + Bailey is seeking applications from independent brands across fashion, home, art and lifestyle. The platform is selective, evaluating each brand for craft, originality, quality and point of view, and offers direct access to a curated global audience.
