Heather Hawkins:
Heather Hawkins’ interest
in design as a career
began at the
College
of
Charleston
in 2000 while working
towards a double major in
both Studio Art and
Business Administration.
While doing so Heather
began experimenting with
different types of fabric
and sewing patterns of her
own design. By May of 2000
her experimentation led to
her first handbag. Heather
continued developing
designs and sewing
handbags throughout her
final year of school
graduating with both
degrees in May 2001.
Using her degree in
Business Administration,
as well as a keen eye for
both form and color,
Heather was soon making
handbags for both family
and friends. The old
tradition of
"word-of-mouth"
advertising soon generated
enough requests for
handbags that Heather
turned a one-time hobby
into a business and
Heather Hawkins Designs
was born.
Heather Hawkins’ handbags
are now sold in specialty
boutiques as well as being
sold on-line. Heather’s
passion for design and
style can be seen in each
handbag she designs. All
of Heather’s handbags are
made with the highest
quality materials imported
from
Italy.
Heather Hawkins creates a
spirited new line each
spring and fall.
"I enjoy the process of
creating my handbags, and
love to see the finished
product in the hands of
happy customers."
