hiestands bags were born out of a desire to create products that offered more than just style or function. 

seeing how saturated the product market was with disposable goods which sacrificed design and quality for mass production, we decided to make them tougher, stronger and with better value for money than any others out there. simply: built to last.

originally established in 2002 by r. hiestand in switzerland, it started with focusing on innovation and quality, with an essential product such as basic, classical shopping bags with the typical seamline design that has since then dictated the unmistakable mark of all hiestands products.

it is the visionary innovative approach that has seen hiestands develop into the brand it is today - producing a range of bags, apparel and accessories that combine style, utility, and toughness with purpose.
