HEIJST is the vision of Arnhem-based designer Melissa van Heijst, who transforms sturdy leather into striking, wearable statements. Handcrafted from leather using traditional saddle-making techniques, each piece blends clean lines, symmetry, and multifunctional design.
Inspired by the raw energy of Berlin’s nightlife, couture icons like Mugler, and the female form itself, HEIJST accessories are made to be worn your way — over skin, over clothing, on your terms.
Whether paired with lingerie or everyday outfits, HEIJST pieces add edge, confidence, and a sense of strength. Because feeling sexy starts with feeling powerful.
