Our Story

Barbre was born from a dream that didn’t follow the rules.

Founded by Brianna Kource—entrepreneur, storyteller, and island soul—Barbre is more than a brand. It’s a commitment to living with intention, creating beauty with purpose, and choosing a life rooted in authenticity.

After moving across the world with nothing but a suitcase and a calling, Brianna’s journey led her to the Philippines. What began as selling ice cream on a bridge to connect with the local community grew into something far greater—a deep respect for craftsmanship, connection, and the power of showing up.

Living in the Philippines for three years reshaped everything. It revealed a kind of community built on generosity, resilience, and shared humanity—people who had little, yet gave freely; people who lifted one another without expectation.

Those years taught a simple truth: you can only go so far alone, but together, you can build something meaningful.

That belief is the foundation of Barbre.

Each Barbre bag is handwoven from recycled materials by women artisans in rural communities, crafted in limited batches with care, intention, and respect for traditional weaving techniques. Every piece represents opportunity—ethical fashion designed to move with you through real life.

Barbre exists to create connection, empower women, and honor the places and people behind every product.

This brand is for those who choose to live a little louder.

To stand out.

To give back.

To live a life that feels good—not just looks good.
