Hydes has a very modern design sensibility – simple lines and form combined with functionality. With a collection of totes and slings handcrafted by skilled local artisans, the brand makes for a pleasant change from mass-produced goods. Most importantly, its business ethic is rooted in sustainability with their raw material and hide sourced responsibly and with as little damage to the environment as possible.
