Who We Are

A Global Marketplace for Independent Brands. Rather a Good One, We Think.

It Started With a Handbag

A Global Marketplace for Independent Brands. Rather a Good One, We Think.

It Started With a Handbag

When it all began we were two siblings with a bag brand, considerable optimism, and a studio in London that was frankly too small for the both of us. We designed things we fancied ourselves, sold them in New York and London, and built up a network of independent brands and boutiques doing extraordinarily good work.

Then we noticed something. The best of them, the small-batch ceramicists, the London ateliers, the New York designers making things by hand, were almost impossible to find unless you already knew where to look.

They deserved a proper home. Something built around them rather than bolted on afterwards. So we built it.

What Brix + Bailey Is Now

A curated global marketplace for independent brands across fashion, home, art and lifestyle. Hundreds of brands, and counting. All handpicked.

Handpicked by us, two people who have spent over a decade in this world and have developed, if nothing else, rather strong opinions about what's worth your attention.

Every brand is evaluated for craft, originality, quality of make, and that harder-to-name business of having a genuine point of view. The kind of brand that makes you stop scrolling and actually look. More on how we choose brands.

London + New York

We operate between London and New York because that's where we are. The brands are another matter entirely. The brands are another matter entirely: mostly British and European, with America well represented and outliers in Copenhagen, Paris, Kolkata and Sydney. We are not sentimental about geography. What matters is the work, not the postcode.

What We Actually Do

We do the searching so you don't have to. We find the brands, vet them, onboard them, and present them properly. You browse, discover, and buy, knowing that someone with taste and more than a decade of doing this has already done the hard work.

We also build our own technology. Onboarding a brand by hand took two days when we started, so we wrote the tools to make it take an afternoon, and then kept going. It turns out a marketplace for independent brands needs software that doesn't exist off the shelf.

 
Still Family, Still Independent

The same two siblings, still running it together, still with a great deal of help. Independently owned, independently minded, and still slightly obsessed with finding things that are genuinely worth finding.

This is Brix + Bailey. A marketplace for the brilliant brands you have not found yet. Rather glad you are here.
