We are excited to announce another designer apart of the Spring Market, LoHi Bags! LoHi bags are handmade for the modern girl. They are designed and are made locally in Denver, CO.
LoHi Bags was established in 2009 in the Lower Highlands neighborhood of Denver, a diverse urban community, right near downtown. Products are made with as much up-cycled or repurposed material as possible. This includes leather jackets, belts, upholstery scraps, vintage zippers, belt buckles, etc. We’re a big fan of sourcing materials from local thrift shops that support social good, such as Arc and Goodwill. Ralph’s Power Sewing in Jefferson Park is our favorite neighborhood supply shop. The leather we use is stylish and weathered, but that is the beauty of it. Each bag has a history.
The aesthetic is very simple and functional design, mixing neutral fabric with little pops of color, like a bright green zipper, colorful lining or hot pink stripe. The bags are made one-by-one without the use of patterns, so the design and construction process is pretty organic. They have an urban/bohemian vibe that fit the neighborhood, and they are one of a kind.
To learn more about LoHi you can visit their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/lohibags and come to the spring market to see their bags in person and maybe purchase one (or two) of them!
