Modern luxury, built on conscious production.

Hyna is a US-based contemporary handbag label that celebrates craftsmanship, sustainability and timeless design - blending modern aesthetics with everyday functionality for urban women who want style, durability and versatility.

The mandate was a digital-first, direct-to-consumer growth engine spanning web, content, social, performance, SEO and email.

The brand
Premium leather bags built on conscious production - modern luxury that is also a daily essential
The mission
To redefine leather handbags as both a fashion statement and an everyday companion
The mandate
A digital-first, D2C growth engine across web, content, social, performance, SEO and email

Objectives

01

Optimize the website for seamless e-commerce and brand storytelling.

02

Create photoshoot content that is aspirational yet relatable for site and campaigns.

03

Grow social presence through curated storytelling and influencer collaborations.

04

Run performance marketing that balances awareness with conversions.

05

Strengthen SEO around handbags, leather bags and sustainable fashion.

06

The Challenge

Modern luxury, in a crowded US market.

Position Hyna as a modern luxury yet accessible handbag brand - driving awareness of sustainability, craftsmanship and versatility, generating D2C sales through a digital-first strategy, and building a community of fashion-forward, eco-conscious women who resonate with the brand’s ethos.

Aspirational enough to command the price. Relatable enough to be carried every day.

A

A crowded US market

Competing for attention against established fashion labels with far larger budgets.

B

Aspirational yet accessible

Holding a premium look while staying reachable for the everyday urban customer.

C

Sustainability as a story

Making conscious production a reason to buy, not just a footnote.

D

Paid dependency

Building organic and owned channels so growth was not hostage to ad spend.

Our Approach

Six workstreams, each feeding the next.

A holistic 360° engagement built on six integrated workstreams - each reinforcing the next, from discovery to purchase to loyalty.

1

Website optimization

  • Streamlined e-commerce, lifestyle storytelling and mobile-first design, with curated categories, lookbooks and trust builders.
2

Brand shoot & content

  • Editorial campaigns shot in NYC and LA for an urban US audience - a minimal, fashion-driven look that became the foundation for web, social and ads.
3

Social media

  • Curated storytelling, UGC and micro-influencer collaborations - day-in-the-life Reels and the #StyledWithHyna community.
4

Performance marketing

  • Full-funnel across Meta, Google Shopping and Pinterest - awareness through to conversion, with continuous creative testing.
5

SEO & content

  • Keyword clusters, schema and backlink outreach - rankings around luxury, work and sustainable leather bags.
6

Email marketing

  • Welcome, abandoned-cart, post-purchase and loyalty flows built to compound lifetime value.

The Work

The work, by channel.

Each workstream was built to perform on its own and to feed the others - turning a digital-first label into a connected brand experience.
