For curious souls who collect the Unordinary
For Curious Souls Who Collect The Unordinary
We rather like independent brands. The women-led ones, the family businesses, the small-batch makers who refuse to cut corners. Fashion, homeware, furniture, jewellery, gifts — all from people doing things properly, just without the enormous marketing budget. Shop by purpose. Shop by location. Or simply wander and see what catches your eye. Every brand individually chosen. Just rather good things made by rather good people.
Shop By Purpose
Every purchase champions an independent brand. Browse by what matters most—sustainability, artisan craftsmanship, woman-led businesses, or emerging designers. Your choices support real makers building meaningful brands.
shop by location
From London ateliers to New York studios, explore independent brands rooted in creative communities worldwide. Each location tells a story of local craftsmanship and entrepreneurial spirit. Shop global, support local makers.

THE BRIX + BAILEY CIRCLE — NEW BRANDS WORTH KNOWING
We've Found Some Rather Good New Brands. Thought You Should Know
Our evolving circle of independent designers, makers and creative thinkers we trust, admire and collaborate with. Fresh ideas, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a touch of the unexpected — these are the brands shaping what comes next.
Sustainability, reimagined — upcycling glass bottles into handcrafted candles and gifts, because waste should never be wasted....
It started, as the best ideas always do, after dinner. After staring at a rather impressive collection of empty wine bottles and thinking "well, this seems wasteful", MOSA did something rather brilliant. They took those bottles and turned them into hand-poured candles and glassware.
Someone in New York had the audacity to fish plastic bottles out of the ocean and turn them into rather gorgeous things to wear....
BYMANYC make luxury fashion — footwear, bags, beauty, cashmere — entirely vegan, entirely handmade, and entirely the sort of thing you'd expect to see sauntering down Fifth Avenue on someone impossibly chic. The boots are crafted in Italy because of course they are.
Furniture for small people, made by people who take small people very, very seriously indeed.
Kidodido make the sort of kids' furniture that makes grown adults say "well, that's not fair, why can't I have that?" Tiny beds that look like they belong in a Wes Anderson film. Bookshelves with actual personality. Desks that somehow make homework look — and we realise this is a bold claim — almost appealing.
