It is full steam ahead for emerging fashion and handbag designer Helen Hoppock. This businesswoman-turned-designer creates spacious, buttery soft leather handbags with feminine pleats and cleverly indulgent details only to juxtapose it with a rocker-style.

Hoppock has implemented a socially responsible mission into her line that keeps her trend-setting clients feeling good about their purchases. The designer personally ensures that fair wages, healthy work environments and no child labor are in used in the production of the accessories and donates a percentage of proceeds each year to an Argentinean non-profit.
