About

IT STARTED AT THE BEACH

Our story

Founded by Mitty, our clothes are inspired by the nostalgic charm of seaside, Summer living and the memory of her childhood adventures in St Mawes, Cornwall where we have recently opened our first shop. Bridie & Bert is a family run business that has successfully created a brand originally inspired by Summers on the beach for children, teenagers and adults alike.

Mitty launched Bridie & Bert in 2021 with the idea of creating comfortable beach cover-ups similar to those she wore as a child. With a trunk-full of heirloom pieces, saved by her mother for her grandchildren, Mitty set about designing a capsule collection of the softest, highest quality towelling robes for children and adults.

ABOUT OUR

Ethos & philosophy

Bridie & Bert is all about simple, beautifully made garments for kids, women and men. Our designs include super soft towelling and cottons in a simple, practical aesthetic.

Our children’s collection allows children to be children in comfort, in garments they don’t want to take off and look gorgeous in, especially in photos to be cherished for years to come.

The Bridie & Bert philosophy centres around the idea of creating carefree moments and memories in clothes that last a lifetime in a soft and easy to wear style.

We believe less is more, which is why you won’t see pages of colour choices or an abundance of different styles to choose from. Instead, we have focussed on beautiful basics that can be worn every day, that make holiday packing a joy and is hopefully just what you are looking for.

We are particularly pleased to be working with suppliers in Turkey, India, Italy and the UK who we know personally and share our design sensibilities and ethos.

CONSCIOUS OF OUR COAST

Sustainability

We love soft cottons and natural fabrics where possible, but ever mindful of the practicalities of a busy family holiday, we like to use materials that are quick to dry and plastic free.

Bridie & Bert is a family business that is growing and we are delighted to have you here with us.
