What to know about HEREU
Accessories only, not a clothing line
Hereu makes bags, footwear and small leather goods — it started with four unisex shoe styles in 2014 and stayed in accessories.
Braiding and weaving are the signature
Inherited Spanish folk techniques drive the line, from the braided Bombom top-handle to the Trena bucket, Espiga shoulder bag and Calella totes.
Made in Spain by small ateliers
Production stays in Spain with family-run workshops and local artisans, which explains the mid-to-high pricing on a Barcelona-based label.
