The Story of Stola: Stylish Fashion Bags & Decorative Storage Bins

To tell you the story of this uniquely fashionable—and functional—product line, we’re going to have to do a bit of traveling. Approximately 8000 miles of travel, all the way from our office in Troy, Michigan to the bustling streets in China.

This is where Michael, our developer, discovered an easily wipeable, water resistant material. He challenged his team to take this material and create solutions: deliver a new product to solve everyday problems. From this challenge, Stola was born.

What is Stola?

Stola is a line of chic fashion bags and decorative storage bins able to be used at home as well as out in the world as part of your everyday life. Built by the innovative product development team at HMS Mfg. Co., this contemporary merchandise conveys an upscale quality, without the heavy price tag.

When tasked with designing a product from this material, our team worked with the consumer in mind. We know that you’re on-the-go, and these items are made to match your lifestyle. Generation One of the Stola line includes five products: 

• The Essentials Case: Whether you’re getting ready at the gym or carrying art supplies to class, make sure you have all your essentials anywhere you go!
• The Overnight Tote: Last-minute work trip? Full-day schedule with three stops? This extra-large fashion bag conveniently holds everything you need.
• The Utility Tote: Perfect for sports equipment, dog toys, and weekly groceries, this tote is great for the messy parts of life.
• The Full Bin with Lid: Stylish storage that you won’t want to hide from house guests.
• The File Bin: File folders are an eyesore; this decorative bin helps brighten up your home office and work desk.  

This blog will go into more detail about these products and how they can help you, the consumer, on a daily basis. Stola products are designed to be taken anywhere and everywhere for consumers with an on-the-go lifestyle.

With the tagline Designed to Hold the Important Things™, these trendy items help ensure that the essentials don’t get left behind. Everything you need is accessible, making your life easier.

The New Lifestyle Blog  

Behind the Hummingbird™ epitomizes the spirit of its namesake. The hummingbird, a symbol of lightness, mobility, and independence, represents the design approach for our Stola products.

As Stola’s logo, it’s a brand icon that resonates with influencers and trendsetters. Similar to our target audience, the hummingbird is swift, independent, and resilient, able to flutter quickly through the daily obligations of life with an optimistic mindset.

Stola is for those with creative ideas, uplifting messages, and adaptable personalities. It’s a line of dependable, stylish products designed to match a bold lifestyle. You live a life constantly on the move, and we want to be right there with you, so everything important is always on-hand.
