Heather Heron :: Style Statement Interview

It's our pleasure to feature an interview with Canadian-born, LA-based designer Heather Heron, 

whose environmentally inspired and friendly handbags and accessories fuse inner and outer beauty.
Heather uses organic European hemp and hemp-silk blends — which she sources herself to ensure 

the utmost in sustainability and quality — as foundational materials for her creations. She then 

collaborates with local artisans to introduce fine detailing and other touches that elevate her designs 

to unique and elegant objets d’art. Her creations are ultimately expressions of what she believes in: 

beauty, nature, collaboration, and love.
Heather’s couture is showing up in the most exciting places (um, Vogue!) and on some rather 

well-known people (e.g., Mila Kunis, Reese Witherspoon, Alanis Morissette, Gwyneth Paltrow). 

It’s a great testament to where passion and determination can get you …

Here’s our interview with the lovely Ms. Heather Heron.

S. Statement: A Style Statement fundamental is “communicate who you are in all you do.” 

How does your work help you to express yourself? In other words, what parts of yourself are 

you manifesting in your work?
HH: I have the most beautiful opportunity to express myself through designing pieces that reflect 

my lifestyle. Specifically manifesting the parts of me that are modern + hippie, feminine + masculine, 

dreamy + practical, my activism for hemp + my love for adventure.

S. Statement: When you think of style … say someone very original and charismatic, or some place 

you’ve been that felt refreshing, new, and real … what comes to mind?
HH: My most incredibly chic friends + colleagues. I feel very blessed to have this circle of inspiration 

as my tribe.

S. Statement: What’s a completely outrageous thing you would like to own?
HH: A tipi.

S. Statement: What’s something you have right now in your life that you love passionately?
HH: My Leica camera … loving getting back behind the lens again after all this time.

S. Statement: When you need energy, what do you do?
HH: Schedule FUN into my week … if I have time, space, adventure + fun scheduled I am immediately 

energized.

S. Statement: When you crave calm and peace, what do you do?
HH: What I am doing right now … go to Canada + rest + snowboard + … slow it all down … and then 

go slow it down some more … until everything looks and sounds different.

S. Statement: At your most comfortable, what are you wearing?
HH: My husband’s Carhartts all rolled up + Loup Charmant scoop tanks layered and Le Labo perfume.

S. Statement: At your most glamorous, what are you wearing?
HH: My 1920s wedding dress … insane couture gown that I have enjoyed many glamorous evenings in 

beyond my wedding night.

S. Statement: If you could only wear one outfit for the rest of your life, what would it be?
HH: Loup Charmant dress, gauze scarf from the Environment by Heather Heron Collection, Rick Owens 

 sweater, Fiorentini Baker boots + dripping in Kathy Rose jewels.

Beetle Blocks on Inhabitots

 

 

Beetle Blocks are not your typical building blocks. Handcrafted from Ponderosa Pine in Western Canada, their naturally-stained geometric blue pieces are the dye work of a local species of bark beetle that kills and tints the grain of the Ponderosa tree rings. Thankfully, this ‘dead wood’ has found new life in Beetle Block building sets that are not only engaging with their limitless construction possibilities, but also a great way of crafting nature’s leftovers into interactive toys for all ages. Perfect assembled on a playroom shelf or scattered underfoot in the living room, these gorgeous block sets transform a sad tale of destruction into one of resourcefulness and adaptiveness.

+ Beetle Block sets retail for $50.

wishing you a joyous continuing holiday season & all the best for a wonderful 2010!

with love & appreciation,

Kee & Heather.

Nail It.

Looking Glam for all those Holiday Parties.

1) Let the steam from a warm shower soften your cuticles.
2) After the shower, push cuticles back with an orangewood or metal stick. (Please don’t cut the cuticles, they can grow back unevenly.)
3) Massage a cuticle oil or balm (Revolution Organics All-Over Body Balm - coming soon in our shop!) around (and on top of) the nails. Let it absorb for a few minutes.
4) Apply Priti Nail Polish (we're loving Smoky Midnight) in vertical strokes from the center of the nail out to the sides. Make sure to stay on the nail, and don’t let the polish bleed into the cuticle bed.

CC Tip: Wipe the nail-polish brush on the side of the bottle to remove excess polish before you apply. It’s less wasteful, and you won’t end up with pools of color by the sides of your nails.
