Hester van Eeghen

With their bold, unexpected color combinations and cool geometric shapes, Hester van Eeghen’s leather bags have gained a cult-like following in Amsterdam. Just about every Dutch fashionista owns one of these distinctive, uber-functional purses—and likely a backpack and wallet too. Van Eeghen also brings her stylish design sensibility to briefcases, laptop bags, gloves, and shoes. All goods are designed in Amsterdam and manufactured in Milan, which means the finest leather and excellent craftsmanship—with prices to match. Her flagship is on Hartenstraat in the chic Nine Streets area; there’s another location in the gallery district on Nieuwe Spiegelstraat.
