In just two short days I'll be heading off for a much-needed sunny, warm weekend in Florida. And how I wish I had a Hoakon + Helga duffel to pack for the trip...
The current line of bags from Canadian designer Andi—the talent behind Hoakon + Helga—incorporates vintage leather coats into its designs, pairing the sustainablility of reclaimed materials with the unique character of each worn and loved jacket to make some truly lovely luggage.
Liz Grotyohann is a co-founder of cosa verde, a marketplace for handmade, environmentally-conscious goods.
