Hemp Couture Bags

Eco-chic Handbags

Heather Heron´s handbag collection begs one to banish memories of shapeless sacks and roughly woven hippie fabrics. Heron´s signature line of totes and clutches are produced from organic European hemp, combined with hemp-silk charmeuse and ultra fine leather detailing at the hands of local artisans in Los Angeles.

Heather sources all the materials herself to ensure they are the most sustainable and exquisite products available and has proved that hemp can be a sophisticated and stylish fabric when the right people get their hands on it. The line  is simple yet refined and will last through the seasons and trends.

Unlike leather bags, hemp is biodegradable, pesticide free and requires much less water than other plants and produces three times more fibre per acre than cotton.

We love the Acacia pleated purse and the Aspen tote, pictured below.

Hemp products can be found locally at The Hemporium
