About Us

It's not such an unusual story, but we met at school when we were 14 years old, and never lost touch. In the Spring of 2005, we decided we were ready to start new chapters in our professional lives. Brett had been working in film and designing jewellery in her spare time; Lucy was a fashion buyer. Both of us felt the need to do something adventurous and creative. We realised there was a gap in the market for elegant, affordable clutches and decided to try and fill it. Our goals were to produce high-quality, statement bags that wouldn’t break the bank. Wilbur & Gussie was born.

Our defining features are eye-catching prints and vibrant colour, elegant jewelled brooch fastenings and bold hardware. We try to buy limited edition fabrics and one-off brooches, thus making the bags unique and collectable. Everything is made in Spain.
