Lockheart
"Follow your heart" is the mantra of Jennifer Tash and Trang Huynh, founders and creators of Lockheart. The designing duo have been following their hearts for a long time. Huynh and Tash met in 1995 and created their revolutionary and iconic accessory brand, Isabella Fiore. It was there that they honed their craft, gained valuable experience and built a passionate fan base. Trang's background in bridal couture made her acutely aware of fine details and intricate constructions, and Jennifer's experience and tasteful eye in retail visual display was tailor made for the perfect partnership where they both balanced the yin and yang of running a creative business. While still at Isabella Fiore the duo was nominated for the prestigious Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) award in 2001. In 2006 this amazing duo Created and developed the Lockheart line.
Not for the meek, the creators at Lockheart design statement bags with classical references. And for a Lockheart girl, the obsession is rooted in the details: vibrant colors, an endless array of pockets, playful linings, original artwork, dimensional detailing and hand sewn hardware. Depending on how it's all put together, each bag is like a unique representation of the wearer's personal style.
Individuality and originality are the lifeblood of Lockheart's culture.
Most of all, Lockheart bags are to be treasured, collected and exchanged; worn from season to season and passed down to daughters and among best friends. Like a fine wine, there's no doubt Lockheart will just keep getting better with age.
Frye Handbags
Founded in 1863 by John A. Frye, a prominent English shoemaker, The Frye Company is the oldest continuously operated shoe company in the United States. Mr. Frye ran the business for nearly 50 years and after his death in 1911, his family continued to run the company until 1945.
In the 1960's, Frye reintroduced the Campus Boot based on its 1860 original. The style featured a bulky toe and chunky heel that came to epitomize the attitude and the style of the 60's and 70's. There was nothing like the "new" Frye Boot on the market, and consumers began to demand "Original Frye's." The Smithsonian Institute, in their search for items to best represent 1960's America, chose a pair of Frye Boots, which proudly remain on display today.
The Frye brand remains true to its heritage and vintage American roots with finely crafted handbag designs featuring rich leathers and quality hardware.
