About Us

Welcome to Lacy Mae & Co

I'm Nicola — a UK-born, Canadian-raised maker with a lifelong love of sewing. My mother taught me to sew at 14, and after 40+ years in healthcare, I retired in 2023 and turned a passion I'd been quietly growing since 2019 into something real: handcrafted bags made with care, quality, and intention.

The Name Behind the Brand

Lacy Mae & Co is named for two special sources of inspiration — my beloved Shih Tzu, Lacy Mae, and the women who shaped me: my maternal grandmother, whose maiden name was Lacy, and my mother, whose middle name is May. Every bag carries a little piece of them.

Proudly Canadian

Most of my materials are sourced from Canadian small businesses — so when you shop with me, you're supporting a whole community of makers. Thank you for being here.
