About Us

We’ve looked for a long time for a product that would be unique in the British market. We identify with all women who have gorgeous handbags but can never find anything in them!

We’ve all stood on the doorstep in the rain fumbling for our keys. Or been there when you can’t find the car park ticket, pen, sweet, lipstick, nail file or whatever!

We also know what a chore it is every time you want to change your handbag, switching all the contents from one bag to another, often forgetting something vital.

So the answer? Bagatidy!

As we say; it organises your handbag and tidies yours lifestyle.

In their own words:

“That’s us! We often say we are two sides of the same coin. One of us has the ‘big career’ but would have loved a family. The other has a lovely family but felt she never found herself in her career. We’ve been best friends for 30 years. Like all best friends we’ve gone through the rough and smooth of our lives together. Although our day to day existences vary widely, we’re so ‘simpatico’ to quote the Italians, we always know what the other will think about something.

We’ve both got different strengths that we bring into our partnership which makes us the perfect team in business as we have been in our friendship in life.”
