Robin Ruth Bags
You will spot them on shoulders in Paris, New York and Barcelona, but the brand itself was born in Amsterdam: Robin Ruth bags. Here you will find the collection with Dutch and Amsterdam designs: shoulder bags with bold lettering, shoppers covered in canal houses, denim bags with windmills, handy passport and travel pouches, and small bags featuring the blossoms and starry skies of Van Gogh. Sturdy, practical and instantly recognisable as a souvenir from the Netherlands.
Buy Robin Ruth bags: a souvenir you will actually use
Robin Ruth started out in Amsterdam in 2002, selling souvenir ties and scarves. Today it is an international lifestyle brand found in almost every major city in the world, with its own designs for each city and country. Many travellers collect the bags the way others collect passport stamps: one from London, one from Rome and, of course, one from Amsterdam.
What sets a Robin Ruth bag apart from an ordinary souvenir bag is that you keep using it long after the trip. Holland or Amsterdam is printed loud and proud, yet the bags are designed to go with jeans, a summer dress or your work outfit. Like Robin Ruth, De Holland Winkel has been around since 2002, and we have brought the Dutch collection together for you in one place.
