Her commitment to sustainability, for example, includes an entire manifesto dedicated to bringing positive impact, with clear objectives like using 90% lower-impact materials in Chloé collections by the year 2025.

At her own namesake line, Gabriela Hearst has also been very open to working and collaborating with artisans all over the world. Her latest design celebrates the craft of Madres y Artesanas Tex in Bolivia, where bags like the Nina and Demi are carefully crocheted by hand in 100% cashmere.
