Welcome to Bibi Bags, Newport’s glamorous new accessories store which specialises in designer bags and shoes.

Sisters Sahra and Myriam Hassan opened Bibi Bags in October, as they both felt that Newport was lacking a store which offered high-quality goods and designer labels not available in Newport.
The Hassan family is well known within Newport as they have successfully run numerous businesses for more than 30 years, including night clubs, shops and a post office.

Both sisters love to play golf, with Sahra playing professionally on the European Tour and Myriam having a golf scholarship in America.
Sahra has played in many golf tournaments all over the world, making lots of friends along the way.

When she’s not playing golf in the countries she visits, she loves to shop with her friends in the many different malls and shopping centres, all of which have many famous designer brands which are not available in the UK.
This is where Sahra got the inspiration to bring these much sought-after European labels back home to the UK, making them accessible to everyone in Newport.
“Not everyone has heard of brands such as Geox, Marco Tozzi, Gessy and Anna Smith, but they are extremely popular in other parts of the world,”
said Sahra.
“Geox shoes, in particular, is an amazing brand, as all its shoes are able to breathe. The rubber sole is perforated and incorporates a special breathable
and waterproof membrane, which lets your feet breathe but prevents water from penetrating. This allows a natural thermoregulation and creates an ideal microclimate within the shoe.
“These shoes are great for diabetics, and we’ve already had a lot of customers say how great it is that we stock Geox in Newport, as normally they would’ve had to travel all the way to London or shop online to get them.
“A lot of our stock is from Germany, Italy and Spain, but we also have many British labels too, including LYDC, Rock and Sally Young. We want to bring more choice to the people of Newport, with these affordable designer labels.”

Bibi Bags offers a wide range of bags for any occasion, from everyday use and travelling to special occasions and party-wear. The same goes for shoes too, ranging from boots and smart shoes to blingy party heels for a night out on the town. Also, many of the shoes on offer have matching bags to make your
outfit complete.

There’s also an exclusive range of handmade jewellery on offer.
If you can’t find what you are looking for, the friendly and helpful staff are always on hand to offer advice with styling tips and excellent product knowledge.
“Whether you’re looking for an attention grabbing clutch or everything and the kitchen sink’ satchel, our selection of ladies’ handbags makes sure you can carry everything you need in style,” said Myriam.
“Pick up a soft leather tote bag to complete your office ensemble, or use one of our patterned canvas shoppers to make your trip to the supermarket that
little bit more fabulous.”


So, if you’re looking for something unique which isn’t available anywhere else in town, make your way to Bibi Bags, located at 28 High Street, Newport NP20 1GH (opposite McDonalds).
