In The Spotlight: Hayward | 5th at 58th - The Bergdorf Goodman Blog

The golden doors of Hayward House, with their signature 'H' door handles - the insignia of Hayward House. Two joined 'Hs' - one highly machined half, signifying Hayward's deco roots, and the other, simple and flat, signifying Hopper's artisanal counterpoint to its more elaborate partner.

Table and chairs by Alvar Aalto; Frank Gehry chairs at the head and foot of the table; and a peacock which was acquired from Creel and Gow, the shop right beneath the showroom.

The vaulted ceiling of the penthouse showroom displays the very top of Hayward House. In it, you can see photos taken by Dennis Hopper of Andy Warhol, Tuesday Weld, and Roy Lichtenstein; a Kenny Price painting gifted to Marin by the artist; a photo taken by Leland Hayward during the making of 'The Old Man And The Sea', which he produced; and portraits of Brooke Hayward by portrait artist Claudia Munro Kerr.

The golden fireplace, with its frenzied fretwork, is unique to Hayward House, as is the scrolled linen-fold paneling carved with acorns and oak leaves. Over the fireplace hangs a portrait of Marin's step-grandmother, Slim Hayward (Keith), painted by Claudia Munro Kerr.

One of the most exciting things about walking into Bergdorf Goodman is discovering designers like Hayward, a recent addition to the New Main Floor. Built on generations of Hollywood heritage, Hayward is known for their timeless American handbag silhouettes. Designed by Marin Hopper, daughter of Dennis Hopper and Brooke Hayward, granddaughter of Leland Hayward, the collection is inspired by the iconic family’s adventures.

We visited the Parlor floor of the Grosvenor Atterbury mansion on the Upper East Side, to learn more about the family, the brand and to spend some time inside the world of Hayward. With vaulted ceilings, dark wood interior and custom ‘H’ shaped door handles, we were instantly transported. Gleaming tables fill the space, each dotted with the newest bag silhouettes. The walls are overflowing with art and photos of the family and friends who defined the Golden Age of Hollywood. Some of the artwork includes a “shoe” drawing by Andy Warhol; a portrait of Brooke Hayward by Dennis Hopper, and a painting by Jack Nicholson that Dennis gave to Marin.

Shop Hayward now on the New Main Floor and on BG.com.
