In this world of mass-produced fashion, it’s not often that we can say that a handbag is truly one of a kind. The purses from Hide Handbags, the label developed by Adrienne Herro, enjoy being some of the few exceptions to this contemporary rule.
Fashion design is clearly in Herro’s blood. Some of her earliest memories involve playing in New York’s Garment Center while her pattern maker father worked. These days fashion is work for Herro, but looking at her accessories it seems she’s never lost her sense of fun.
Herro takes Italian lambskin, suede, vintage saddle blankets and other unique materials to create her one-of-a-kind handbags. The bags typically feature her signature braided handles, a nod to one of her other great loves: hose riding.
There are several common shapes, of course, but the individual blending of leathers, exotic skins, and other fabrics ensures no two Hide handbags are exactly the same. And if you’re not completely happy with something you see on the Hide Handbags website, Herro will happily customize a bag to suit your taste.
Hide Handbags are available at specialty stores across the United States. If you’re interesting in a customized purse you can order one using the e-mail address provided on the Hide Handbags website.
