A Handmade British Brand Rooted in Heritage Fabrics

Umpie Handbags is a UK-based artisan brand creating unique handmade handbags from carefully sourced heritage textiles.

Each design is individually made in Yorkshire, combining traditional fabric artistry with contemporary handbag design.

We believe a handbag should be personal — not mass-produced, not replicated, and never identical.
