Canadian luxury handbag brand to spread unity through fashion

HYM, Canadian luxury handbag brand to spread unity through fashion.

Bearing the tagline “I am you and you are me. One love and unity,” HYM, which stands for His, Hers, Yours and Mine, features a line of leather handbags designed by Christina Di Pede. Di Pede’s mission is create fashions that merge genders and dispel illusions of separation.

“HYM was created with the purpose of inspiring more love in people,” Di Pede said. “Our mosaic is a visual metaphor representing our value of many different people and ideas coming together in unity and cohesion.”

All HYM luxury bags are designed in Canada and manufactured in New York City using supple Italian leather and velvety soft baby calf hair. Each bag is made with care and attention to detail, with an integrity of materials and craftsmanship that allow the bags to stand on their own. Di Pede seeks out materials to fashion HYM handbags that maintain their natural integrity, including Italian leathers with their natural luster and softness.

Launched in October 2014, the designer luxury handbags are already making a splash in the Toronto fashion scene. They have been featured on Global News Canada’s Morning Show, and in the Canadian fashion blogs To Vogue Or Bust and A Fashion Love Affair. Christina herself has been featured as one of Notable.ca’s Notable Young Entrepreneurs.

HYM Handbags from the Wonder Land collection of Spring and Summer 2015 are now available for immediate delivery.

Di Pede’s design philosophy can be described as a spirited unity of vibrancy and sophistication. The silhouettes are classic and dynamic, providing something for everyone and leaving the ultimate interpretation up to the wearer.

“We’re so excited to launch our new luxury handbag line with a mission,” Di Pede said. “HYM’s message of unity consciousness is embedded in every bag to serve as a daily reminder that we are all connected, and to inspire you to be who you are and live your truth. Those looking for beautiful designer handbags are going to love what we have to offer.”
