About Us
We're Brix + Bailey [ Sister in London, Brother in New York ]
Where It All Began: Twelve Years of Building Something Real
A sister in London. A brother in New York. For twelve years, we built our own handbag and accessories brand—learning the craft, finding our stockists, growing something from nothing.
And we loved it. Every trade show, every new boutique partnership, every customer who chose our bags. But we also learned something important: independent brands need better infrastructure.
What We Discovered Along the Way
After a decade creating our own products, we noticed patterns:
- Onboarding to platforms takes days when it should take hours
- The best makers often lack the tools to reach the right customers
- Bricks-and-mortar boutiques [ coming soon ] want online presence but face technical barriers
- Conscious consumers struggle to discover brands that match their values
We had 350+ stockist relationships, 12 years of retail experience, and rather a lot of ideas about how things could work better.
So we decided to build it.
From Brand to Marketplace: Why Brix + Bailey Exists
What started as our family handbag business evolved into something bigger: a curated marketplace connecting independent brands and boutiques with conscious consumers.
We're championing:
- Independent brands creating extraordinary products
- Women-led bringing fresh perspectives
- Family-run boutiques with genuine curation
- Upcyclers and artisans crafting sustainably
- Bricks-and-mortar shops expanding online
Because brilliant makers deserve to be discovered.

From Family Business to Community Platform
Twelve years ago, we were two siblings with a handbag brand and considerable optimism. Today, we're building infrastructure for independent brands—because we understand the challenges firsthand.
We're still family-run. Still independent. Still believing that extraordinary products deserve to be discovered, and that independent makers deserve proper support.
This is Brix + Bailey. A marketplace for the brilliant brands you haven't found yet.
Rather excited to have you here.
