My Story
Every handbag you see in my store is lovingly handmade right here in Melbourne, Australia. Having been a Fashion Designer and a Textiles teacher, I've always had a passion for blending beautiful fabrics and leather to create unique, functional pieces. With attention to detail and quality craftsmanship, I personally oversee every step of the process, from sourcing materials to stitching the final product. I believe that modern women shouldn't have to choose between quality and affordability, or between timeless style and practical functionality. That’s why I founded Madbagss. The focus is on creating bags that combine both beauty and utility. This is called, ‘Deliberate Design’ because every detail, from the materials to the craftsmanship, is carefully considered to ensure each bag is as stylish as it is functional, with lasting appeal. The ‘Three Essentials’ are what shapes the business......Creative, Functional, and Sustainable. If a design doesn’t meet all three, it simply doesn’t make the cut.
The key to Madbagss is that there are no middlemen.
I'm passionate about delivering exceptional quality at an accessible price, and to make that possible, everything is handled in my Melbourne studio, from design to production. No third parties mean no unnecessary mark-ups. It’s the reason why you don’t have to choose between luxury and value when shopping at Madbagss.
So, that’s Madbagss: intelligent style for intelligent women, now and forever. Thank-you for supporting local, handmade and an all Australian business.
