Meet Hip Bag Company
Where are you from and how does that affect your work?
We are from Eaton, CO. Being Colorado native has always been a source of pride in our work providing handmade artisan Hip Bag purses. We feel Colorado provides a quality of life like no other which offers daily inspiration and creativity.
The Original Hip Bag!
Totally Agree! We feel so at peace whenever we get to work in Colorado. Who/what are your biggest artistic influences?
As we mentioned above, Colorado is a big influence for creativity and outdoor activities. Plus, our love of motorcycle / horse riding. Hip Bags provide a stylish solution for a common issue ie. the discomfort and impracticality of traditional crossbody purses.
What is the hardest part of your creation process?
Honestly, making each Hip Bag individually beautiful. Keeping a fresh creative slate is our daily challenge.
I can totally see that - what’s your favorite item that you’re created, and why?
My favorite item is my first Hip Bag that I made. And, still wear to this day. It is so rewarding to see what I created become more beautiful with age. Our leather mosaics and their developed patina tell a story or their own.
I love the idea of growing into a different love for your bag as it ages. What do you love most about Arvada or Colorado in general?
I have also live in Arvada for years. There are numerous things that I love about both Arvada & CO. To summarize the beauty and outdoors provide a unique community and events like...Jackelope Arts!
Awwww - the community in Colorado is one of our favorites too! What is a fun fact about yourself that others may not expect?
Fun things about me are I love concerts, dogs and tiny homes. Costa Rica is my second home.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
On the beach in Costa Rica with an umbrella drink on ice.
You have the day off, what do you do?
I'll find out in 5 years ;-). No, seriously, riding, spending time at the lake or in the mountains with family.
HA the life of being a small business owner! Anything special you’d like to share?
Everyday is a blessing that I get to work with my mom and family in our small manufacturing company in Colorado.
