FROM OUR MULTI-CULTURAL HERITAGE THAT SPANS NORWAY, JAMAICA, AMERICA AND FRANCE, THE FUSION OF OUR FAMILY'S BACKGROUNDS IS DYNAMIC AND INSPIRING

We have spent the majority of our lives in France, a country where our hearts lie, however we now live across three continents and despite living in different cities, remain unified and close-knit with a singular vision for the Helmer brand.

The HELMEER brand is inspired and influenced by the various cultures and destinations visited by our family throughout numerous voyages. Our passion for travel and constant search of cultural novelty is the cornerstone for creating a handbag and accessory collection that would embrace craftsmanship, whilst offering a perfect balance between style, functionality, practicality and a fashionable insight into various cultures. Our accessories can accompany you on your own travels, whether it is across mountains and oceans, or simply around the corner.

During one of our most memorable trips, we fell in love with Bali and its people. From its nature to its rich cultural tradition, the island captured our soul and we were instantly inspired to create our first handbag collection. We quickly realized that Bali is populated with beautiful, talented and creative people with a great work ethic and these are the foundations upon which we wanted to build our business.

Our first collection focuses on simple pieces with a variety of beautiful colors, using exotic skins and traditional Batik material. 

Our collections are carefully crafted in Bali by local, family-run artisans that have been creating handbags for generations. These skilled artisans are the foundation of our business and we are committed to promoting and helping our partners businesses to grow successfully.

We regard ourselves simply as creative intermediaries bringing beautiful and unique pieces to our customers from our travels around the world. In keeping with our respect for the culture and traditions of Bali, and the world in which we live, we also endeavour to follow the guidelines and the international treaties that have been established to protect the wildlife and their environment. All our snakeskin products are CITES certified, an international certification whose goal is to ensure that the international trade in certain specimens of wild animal and plants does not threaten their survival.
