Press & Media

Brix + Bailey is a curated global marketplace for independent brands, built by a brother and sister who spent over a decade running one.

We know what it is like to make something extraordinary and struggle to get it in front of the people who would love it. So we built the infrastructure we wished had existed.

Today we connect hundreds of hand-picked independent makers, designers and bricks-and-mortar boutiques with conscious consumers across six continents. Every brand is chosen personally. Every product ships direct from the maker. Nobody on our platform got there by accident.

Shoppers discover brands through Shop By Purpose, our values-based navigation: sustainability, women-led ownership, family heritage, artisan craft. Alongside it we build our own retail software, because the tools we needed to run a marketplace this way did not exist off the shelf.

What We Are Building

We are expanding our bricks-and-mortar boutique partnerships, because some of the most beautifully curated shops in the world deserve a global audience rather than a local one. If you run a brilliant shop and the internet has not found it yet, that is precisely the problem we were built to solve.

The Facts

Founded 2012 as an independent handbag and watch brand, London and New York. Distribution to 350+ stockists worldwide including Debenhams and Wolf & Badger.

2023: relaunched as a multi-brand marketplace.

Today: hundreds of independent brand partners across six continents. Bricks-and-mortar boutiques from London to New York. Proprietary retail software, built in-house. Two founders, one rather strong point of view about how commerce should work.

One Last Thing

We are not a tech company that decided to do retail. We are retailers who built the technology we wished had existed, having lived the alternative and found it considerably less fun.

If you are writing about independent brands, conscious commerce or the future of retail, we would rather like to be part of the conversation.

More on how we work: how we choose brands, resources, who we are.
