June 2026 — Be Bougie Ltd, the UK accessories brand on a mission to prove that stylish and sustainable can go hand in hand, will be exhibiting at Home & Gift at Harrogate 19–22 July 2026. The show, one of the UK's most loved gift trade events, will see Be Bougie debut its newest hero product — the Maxi Tote - the supersized stretchy tote — alongside its full range of statement accessories designed to make everyday carry a little more Bougie. The brand grew 170% last year and is on target for 145% growth in 2026.

Don't Be Boring. Be Bougie.

Be Bougie's whole range is crafted using striking designs and materials — classic and contemporary patterns that turn a simple accessory into a conversation starter. The collection includes brand new sparkly phone straps and the genius clip-on handles, launched at Home & Gift last year, giving independent retailers a genuinely distinctive offer for customers who want accessories with personality.

The brand donates to Breast Cancer UK with the sale of every Leopard & Palm bag, and to Refuge with the sale of every Liberty Ditsy bag — making each purchase one with purpose that resonates with today's values-driven consumer.

Introducing the Maxi Tote

The star of this year's show is Be Bougie's new Maxi Tote - the supersized stretchy tote — a larger format tote that has been designed for the retailer who wants to offer something genuinely different. Spacious, head-turning, and made from the same distinctive shibori-print fabric the brand is known for, the Maxi is set to be the standout piece of the range.

Meet Be Bougie at Harrogate

Retailers and buyers are warmly invited to visit Be Bougie at stand A-A19 at Home & Gift Harrogate from 19–22 July 2026. The team will be on hand to discuss wholesale terms, retailer partnerships, and exclusive show incentives. Be Bougie is also available year-round on Faire, the wholesale marketplace.
