LouenHide
LouenHide was launched in 2006 by Lou Kendall and Heidi Bailey.
Having both moved to Brisbane they wanted to develop a sound business that also included a creative outlet. Handbags seemed the obvious choice for the "female factor" - especially since most women love to have more than one of them! Different colours, different shapes, different styles.
After a year of designing and manufacturing, lots of hard work and a steep learning curve, LouenHide eventually found a winning formula and, by now, the bags had started to become recognisable.
Three and a half years later, LouenHide has a team of 10 in their Brisbane office and a further 10 agents around Australia and in N.Z. The handbags are available in more than 400 stores. The business model is based on a quality product that is both practical and affordable without losing the wow factor.
Because of the success of the bags, LouenHide has expanded into a complementary range of footwear and accessories. The loafers and boots have been especially popular and a great addition to the LouenHide brand .
The creative team at LouenHide are passionate about their product and will continue to flirt with current trends while at the same time maintaining the successful formula that has made the bags so sought after.
