Introducing Peggy..

We love all 3 colours of our new two-toned calf leather Peggy! It’s perfect for both day and night.

Opening the signature Wilbur & Gussie gold lock, you will find a surprisingly spacious suede-lined interior with a pocket. The back of the bag features another pocket for speedy access to your credit/Oyster or business card. 

The gold chain is long enough so that the bag can be worn doubled up over your shoulder or and across the body, both for hands free. It couldn’t be more stylish!

Choosing the names for our bags...

Have you ever wondered where we get the inspiration for our bag names?  The answer is very down-to-earth, our pets! Firstly our own pets (Wilbur, Gussie, Charlie, Edith to name but a few) and then our extended families and friends pets.

The Ocho is named after Kate's whippet and Riley after Ruth's bischon frise!

Below, Ocho surrounded by Ocho's!

Manufactured in the UK

Inspired by eye-catching modern prints and fine jewellery, a Wilbur & Gussie handbag is the ultimate style statement. By using unique printed leathers, vintage jewelled brooches and a range of textiles designed in-house, Wilbur & Gussie's designs have become synonymous with British wit and elegance.

View are full Autumn/Winter collection here.

Being a British company, Wilbur & Gussie is proud to support the manufacturing industry within England. Ultimately it is the company's commitment to quality craftsmanship and creative detailing that lend the bags their unique aesthetic.
