The World of HEIGS

Where craft meets character. And timelessness becomes personal.

HEIGS is a quiet kind of luxury—born in the Alps, shaped in Paris, and built for movement.

We create objects that carry meaning. Made to evolve with you.

No noise. No compromise.
Just precision, poetry, and pieces that live a long life.

The Soul

HEIGS = Heidi Goes Safari.

A reimagined icon—rooted in tradition, free to roam.

Genderless. Fearless. A symbol of stillness and adventure in one.

This spirit shapes our design philosophy:
Anchored in heritage, always looking forward.

The Minds

Johanna van der Drift – the eye, the instinct, the story.

Daan van Luijn – the structure, the strategy, the clarity.
Two generations. One shared language.
Together, they built HEIGS from the ground up—independent, intentional, uncompromising.

The Ground

Bern, Switzerland.
Where it all began.
Swiss values—clarity, craft, quiet strength—are in everything we do.

The Hands

Paris, France.
Where haute maroquinerie comes to life.
Each bag is made in a small atelier. Over 150 steps.
Hand-stitched. Hand-dyed. Hand-finished.
Time is part of the process.

The Memory

We use materials that already hold stories:

Vintage textiles
Ballet linings
Full-grain calfskin that softens and ages beautifully

Every scuff, mark, and crease becomes part of your story.

The Ritual

Design at HEIGS is a conversation between feeling and function.

Modular linings
Clean silhouettes
No stock, no waste
Always made to order

Personalized by you—choose your colours, your linings, your initials.
This is slow design.
Built to adapt. Meant to last

The Choice

HEIGS isn’t everywhere—on purpose.
We believe in depth over reach.
In less, but better.
In making things that mean something.
This is our world.
Step in.
