The Briarwood story began in 1992 when Ange Marshall returned from London piled high with way too many shoes and bags but also with a dream of making her own bags - high-quality leather bags that reminded her of what she had seen (and bought) in Europe but with her own personal 'signature.'

In 2015 Briarwood expanded again and it was, in a way, back to the future with a locally manufactured range... but this time of locally manufactured clothing. The love for beautiful fabrics and timeless wearable pieces soon created the same loyal following as the handbags.
