"A person can easily grab a trendy mass-marketed bag and belong to that sorority, but we want to offer something extra: the chance to stand out and be different,” muses Trang Huynh, one-third of the founding members of eccentric handbag brand Lockheart.
Indeed, Lockheart handbags are not for the faint of heart. Individuality and originality are the lifeblood of Lockheart’s design philosophy; original details such as vibrant colours, a plethora of pockets, playful linings, original artwork, dimensional detailing, and hand-hewn hardware have earned Lockheart a reputable following among the quirky and bold.
Trang Huynh and Jennifer Tash were previously founders of Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA)-nominated accessories brand Isabella Fiore, and Genette Sassar joined later as a shoe designer. All three had a burning passion to create artisanal leather goods using embroidery, patchwork, leathercrafting, and exquisite stitchery techniques for free-spirited girls everywhere.
It’s no surprise that inspiration for Lockheart is found in unexpected places – on journeys by a barge in Thailand, inside a steamy laundromat, or even in rush-hour traffic on a jammed Los Angeles freeway.
Always eclectic and whimsical, this brainchild of flea-market junkies, treasure hunters and compulsive tinkerers is here to stay. Now available at the Bay!
