Our Story
About me
Hi, I'm Lucy, founder of The Handbag Bug and a proud mum of two. My passion for handbags started in my teens and has only grown stronger with time!
I launched The Handbag Bug in 2024 and run it from Auckland, New Zealand, with help from my family along the way. I love connecting with fellow handbag enthusiasts across New Zealand and Australia, and believe every handbag, whether high end or high street, deserves to be cared for properly. Good care doesn't just keep them looking beautiful, it extends their life too.
In 2023, I noticed my own handbag collection was starting to lose its shape. I went looking for something to keep them in good condition while in storage and couldn't find an elegant solution. So I did what any busy mum would do and designed my own. That's how our Handbag Shapers, and The Handbag Bug, came to be. I feel so grateful that they have become our best-selling products!
I'm excited to share this journey with you. Let's look after our handbags together, and build a community that genuinely loves them as much as we do.
Lucy ❤️👜❤️
