Hoi Bo by blokdesign Hoi Bo, a highly coveted line of bags and clothing, possesses a distinctive aesthetic that arises from the designer’s unique way of working. What guides her design is a true exploration of process and an emphasis on materials. In some cases, she will fold one piece several times to create a form. Our own design followed her path. We began by using the different shapes and forms as the identity’s foundation. We then pushed the extent of the printing technique to give it a true personality, while also mirroring Hoi Bo’s rigorous attention to craftsmanship and detail.

Fall Fashion for Work

  As the end of summer approaches it is best not to mourn the loss of warm weather and sunny retreats. Instead, let’s get down to business and focus on what really matters – our fall work wardrobes. Celebrate the changing leaves by mixing patterns, wearing modern statement necklaces, pairing silk shirts with rich brocade skirts and topping it all off with a luxurious trench coat. Let your autumn additions be the silver lining during the remaining dog days of summer.

Torontostandard.com presents 'Made in Toronto' Handmade Fashion by Hoi Bo. When we found this wonderful film we were impressed by the quality of craftsmanship and how owner Sarra Tang is unapologetic about her decision to make her products by hand.

A true Creative Entrepreneur understands why they are in business and creates from the soul with passion. Clearly Sarra understands this principle as it so wonderfully expressed in her work.

The work Sarra is doing is simply outstanding!!!

Some photos from my first ever piece for The Scene in TO on my search for the perfect purse. 

Hoi Bo has bomb bags and they're perfect for the unfussy gal who wants something that will last and look good with a variety of outfits.

Visited the Distillery District a few weekends ago and found Hoi Bo, makers of the most covet-worthy handbags I've ever seen. Officially saving my pennies for one of these durable beauties.
