MEET ASTRID

Meet Astrid Haerens: a Belgian writer and poët, and the inspiration for our newest spacious crossbody bag.

“I read and write to understand the world and my place within. But also to find comfort in the beauty of language. Poetry is, for me, a thickened form of beauty. I love to combine the rational and the intuitive when writing.”

As a fervent reader, she regularly heads down to the park with one of her books. So Lies decided to design a bag that could easily fit a book alongside her other belongings.
