A Passion for Beautiful Bags
At Annies, we believe in beautiful bags, friendly service, and good old-fashioned customer care — with a little seaside sparkle.
From our independent shop in the heart of Sidmouth, Devon, we offer a handpicked collection of handbags, purses, and accessories chosen for their quality, style, and personality. Every item you see on our website is selected by us and available in our physical shop — nothing is drop shipped, and nothing is chosen without care.
Supporting British Brands (and a few special finds)
We’re proud to support British design and craftsmanship. Our collection includes much-loved names such as Radley, Pom Pom London, and Yoshi, alongside a small number of carefully chosen European makers like Gianni Conti.
Each brand earns its place on our shelves for its character, quality, and attention to detail — pieces designed to be used, loved, and carried every day.
Friendly, Personal Service — In Store and Online
Whether you visit us in Sidmouth or shop with us online, you’ll always find the same warm, personal service.
We hold and dispatch our own stock from the UK, and every order is packed by our team with care. If you ever need advice, we’re here to help — just as we would be if you walked through our shop door.

A Sidmouth Story Since 1987
Annies has been part of Sidmouth life since 1985, when founder Annie first opened her shop in the town’s shopping centre, before moving to Old Fore Street in 1987.
What began as a small, varied shop gradually became something more focused — a welcoming space dedicated to beautiful leather bags and accessories. With time, care, and a passion for quality, Annies grew into the boutique so many customers know and love today.
In 2005, Annie retired and passed the shop into new hands. Today, Annies is proudly run by Harri, continuing the story with the same independent spirit — blending tradition with a fresh, modern touch.
Still Independent. Still Personal. Still Annies.
Nearly forty years on, Annies remains an independent high street shop, shaped by the customers who visit us year after year — and those who find us online.
Whether you’re looking for something timeless, colourful, or a little bit different, we’re here to help you find a bag you’ll truly enjoy carrying. At Annies, everything you see on our website is stocked in our Sidmouth shop and dispatched directly by our team. We work closely with a small number of trusted brands and carefully select each piece ourselves, ensuring it meets our standards for quality, practicality, and design.
When you order from us, you’re buying directly from our independent shop. All products are stocked in our Sidmouth shop and dispatched directly by our team. We do not use third-party fulfilment or drop-shipping services. Every item is checked and packed with care before it leaves us.
Nearly forty years on, Annies is still here thanks to our lovely customers – old and new – who keep the story going, one beautiful bag at a time.
