Hayward
Hayward is an American handbag manufacturer and the oldest, family-owned manufacturer of its kind in the United States. Leland Hayward was among the original Hollywood agents with clients including Katharine Hepburn, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and Greta Garbo. Also a co-founder of Universal Pictures, producer, and Oscar nominee, his maternal granddaughter, Marin Hopper (daughter of Hollywood legend Dennis Hopper) founded Hayward to present a mix of vintage and modern Hollywood style in handcrafted and custom handbags. The New York factory has large windows allowing visitors to watch the company’s artisans at work with a wide variety of materials (exotic leather, crushed velvet, brocade, and more). Styles are inspired by the legacies of Leland Hayward and Dennis Hopper with accessible prices.
