It’s a rare thing to find eco accessories that seem as essential as the basic staples in our lives. Sustainability is not about acquiring more goods but about finding a balance and a loop of consumption that closely examines ecology and personal need. This is probably why Heather Heron ’s clutches and totes feel so right. Designed and crafted with organic European hemp , Heron’s eco glam designs are guilt-free luxurious and beautifully streamlined. With L.A.
