Mo Bacchus Accessories was set up in 2006 The brand was born in Portobello Market when it became kudus for trendy market revellers and celebrities. 

Mo Bacchus bags went on to have international and national popularity. Also showcasing at shows in Paris, London and New York. 

Mo started making cloth bags on her kitchen table as a  which she would give and as presents to friends and people in her community.

Her love for sewing goes back to childhood. She was taught by her grandmother and mother, two hard working immigrant  women of Windrush generation. It was a time of bonding and connecting with her mother and grandmother, as well as to a mindset that anything is possible. Bother mother and grandmother used their cloth to walk tall and both would save their money for quality accessories. It was not an easy time for immigrant families, but Mo can remember as child how uplifted she felt when she wore the beautiful close her mum and grandmother made for her. This is where she first found her love for accessories and fashion.

Can you imagine crying at the age of 11 when a relative wouldn’t let you have the red leather bag and you had to have plastic wet look bag. That was the influence of her mum and granny.

The love for leather cemented on a one year  working trip to Italy where she performed a dance company, as before design she trained in the performing arts and has an influence on her design process  

Her mother and grandmother unknowingly, taught Mo through that creating, you make things possible with your imagination. 

She designs to reflect the confidence that we all possess.
