Hardtroze is 4 girls and a whole heap of bags, bags of fun. Annette Romkes, Dirkje Bakker, Ester Eijkmans and Nelleke Wegdam started out in March 2003. They have a history of graphic and fashion/costume design and have always been fascinated by the relationship/obsession between women and handbags. Hardtroze started out making only unique bags. In the past only one of each bag was made. After more than 1000 bags the decision was made to design and produce the bags in limited editions. This way more people could enjoy the feeling of owning a Hardtroze bag, so no more hysterics and angry women. Hardtroze bags are made of good quality artificial leather. These bags are animal friendly and easy to clean, just take a wet cloth and most stains will wipe off nicely. The bags are very light and won't become a burden while doing some serious shopping. Shop with caution, and handle with care.
