Love my bags! Beautiful design and construction; they get even better with age. Really appreciate the quality of the work & finishes. Fun linings are a lovely, special touch.

I have four Pip Robins cowls and they’re beautiful, cozy and chic. There’s a bit of a strut in my walk when I wear one. Love them so much!

Gillian is a true artisan. I own three versions of her bags and have owned three of her pouches over the last decade. I wear the pouch bag everywhere, all the time! It is the perfect size for a minimalist who appreciates excellent design and craftsmanship ❤️

I now have an embarrassing number of Pip bags, and have gifted bags to friends and family - they’re beautiful, well-thought out, functional and above all extremely strong and well made. Always my favourite bags!

I discovered Pip Robins about three years ago. I now own four bags/totes and a few other products. I love every piece and purchasing from such an amazing individual.
Thanks for making stuff that is so beautiful, useful, timeless, and well crafted!

Let customers speak for us
from 31 reviewsThe colours, the craftsmanship, the beauty! There’s nothing not to love about this bag. It’s everything. I’m looking forward to enjoying it for years to come 🩷
Gillian makes THE BEST bags. I cannot do justice on describing the thoughtfulness she puts into each design, you simply must try them for yourself!
I love, love, love this bag. It is so practical and so beautiful at the same time. I’ve had trouble trying to find the right bag for me - but this is definitely it!
I love everything by Pip Robins. The quality is top-notch, the fabric and designs are always on point. And everything is so well-made.
This is a bag that everyone could use, and I use it way more than I would have expected. I use it for my business bringing packages to the post office, shopping, packing for an over-night trip, going to the beach, and so much more...it's perfect. It's durable and holds a good amount of weight. I love the two handle sizes so you can wear it over your shoulder or carry it in your hand. I brought mine to a friend's house and they were admiring it, so this is a surprise gift for them :)
I feel proud that I have a hand-made bag, and I love that it’s HUGE! The straps are super strong, too. No worries, ever, even when it’s so full that it’s heavy to carry. This is my every day bag. Inside is my small purse, reusable grocery bags, emergency supplies, toiletry bag, extra shoes to change into at work, work books, winter gear, and more. I love that everything I need for the day fits in just one bag. This is actually my second Maggie Bag. My first one is in great shape, just not as pristine after a few years of everyday use, being plopped down here there and everywhere. The original is now ‘my old one’ if I’m going somewhere ‘dirty.’ My new one is ‘my good bag’ that I’m a bit more precious with. Thank you, Gillian, for your awesome quality and design.
I absolutely love my Large Quilted Tote Bag! It's big enough for all the books, folders and laptop I carry around for work. I can tell it will be perfect for a weekend get-away as well. The interior pockets are really useful and the shoulders straps stay put - always appreciated by someone with slopey shoulders. Great quality workmanship, super quick delivery and beautifully packaged. I'll be back!
Well made, quality materials and attention to the details make this yet another coveted & useful carry all and multi-use bag.
Gillian is always thinking outside the box and continues to create beautiful and unique pieces that keep me coming back for more.
This is my fifth Pip Robins purchase. I am addicted! My recent addition is perfect for everyday. This gorgeous tote is roomy and so well made (like all of them). I’m a huge Pip Robins fan! ♥️
Was uber stressful when these dropped, didn't get my first pic but my second but truth, I think I am happy about that!! Perfect size for my in-office days so I can fit everything into one bag vs. two. Love the mix of fabrics and inside pockets. I think I'm a Pip Robins addict!
I absolutely love my Frances Tote. The size is perfect. The lining is beautiful.
These are great! I use them as a key chain now!
Love the material and the workmanship or workwomanship. Bought two and had made a second purchase as an ideal gift for anyone. Suzanne
Gillian makes the most beautiful and functional pieces! I own several of her pieces a s love each and every one of them.
Bought it for the passport, but now I’m in love and it’s perfect to keep a notepad, like a small moleskine or Filed Note and my favorite pen. It even has space enough for a phone. Love it and so glad I found this shop!
