Hester van Eeghen is making a play for the American market with the launch of her new US website. The Dutch label’s handbags have gained cult status in Europe since they were introduced more than 20 years ago, but they were only available in a select few American outlets. That is, until now.
The launch of the American e-store is sure to increase Hester van Eeghen’s American fan base. Her purses combine five key elements: beauty, passion, shape, color, and surprise. I love the way she blends classic influences with contemporary design elements, and I’m sure American handbag fans will respond in kind.
There are both men’s and women’s accessories available, and with each one priced under the magic $1000 they’re quite reasonable for European designer goodies. I think this fun retro Monacle bag is my favorite. I love the way it blends such cheery colors together in an elegant minimalist way. It’s also a limited edition line which comes signed by Hester van Eeghen herself. Consider me sold!
