Bag Lady Interview: Erika - A Finance Expert

WHY HOZEN?

I love the intention behind HOZEN – small, environmentally conscious, sustainable, female-led business that ensures that everyone who is working to bring the HOZEN vision to life is receiving a fair wage, not to mention, all the while, giving back by supporting animal welfare – what is not to LOVE! Once I stopped to think about it – I couldn’t dream of using an animal leather bag ever again – I love how alternative products put the power in the consumers hands – we are given a choice and are responsible for making a good one – not only for the planet but ultimately for ourselves too!

Casual, comfortable, classic and often androgynous.

FUN FACT.

My son shares a birthday with the founder, Rae Nicoletti :)

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

Nature, a great 90s hip hop playlist (and music generally), my son, kindness between strangers, women’s liberation and all types of feminism, doggy loyalty.

FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD?

In my bed, fresh cool breeze, clean sheets w my whole family.

GUILTY PLEASURE?

Mānuka honey w/steamed barista style Ripple milk in my coffee every morning.
