Only midge is a Melbourne based handbag and accessories label established by Miranda Bourke. Only midge began life as a humble stall at the Brisbane Valley markets sometime in the latter half of 2004. The label grew quickly, developing a loyal following in Brisbane. With increasing popularity and demand from retailers, Only midge soon outgrew the markets. Phew! Miranda loves sleeping in on the weekends!

Only midge now releases two (very different!) collections, twice a year. On one hand we have the Cloth collection - a range of cute coin and clutch purses and larger carry-all bags made from super sweet Japanesey fabrics. The cloth collection is cute, functional and affordable. On the other hand we have the Leather collection - a robust range of bags with an earthy, vintage feel. The leather collection is made from custom-designed New Zealand Leathers and is inspired by the classic saddlebag.  Oh yeah, and while the leather range is primarily for the ladies, we always throw in a few styles with a broader uni-sex appeal.

At Only midge we don’t follow trends, we just make lovely things that we’d like to keep for ourselves!

Today, Only midge is proudly based in Melbourne and our handbags can be found in over 50 retail stores around Australia and New Zealand.
