First Look: Collina Strada Spring 2011 and Exclusive Collab With Need Supply
We met designer Hillary Taymour four months ago and proclaimed her eco-friendly handbag line Collina Strada a Label to Watch. Seriously, if you're thinking of jumping on the backpack trend, now is the time do it and Hilary makes the cutest ones. She told us then that her next collection was going to be "insane" and if by that she meant insanely awesome, she wasn't lying. Spring 2011 builds upon signature unique pieces that strike a perfect balance of vintage and modern, expanded into bolder shapes and colors. New pieces we love include a cross-body harness, a bike bag and an adorable mini backpack.
Collina Strada is Eco-Friendly Perfection
We recently had the pleasure of meeting Hillary Taymour, the uber-cool LA native behindCollina Strada. The FIDM alum began our new favorite handbag line in Fall 2008 as a small collection for her friends. We're really glad she decided to expand. Collina Strada translates to “hill road,” in Italian, and in this case, "hill" is short for Hillary. The bags and harnesses all incorporate ethnic-inspired prints and shapes and are made of incredibly soft, smooth leather with canvas mixed in. The designer, who does her best to keep it green, explained that the canvas is 100% organic, while the leather, she admits, is “almost” organic. It's vegetable-dyed and sourced from a tannery that “uses all parts of the animal,” so they’re less wasteful of animal hide than other tanneries, we guess.
