INTERVIEW: CAPUCINE HOYBACH

NAME: Capucine Hoybach

PROFESSION: Full-time mom, Part-time yoga instructor 

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF YOUR JOB: GM and COO of three children, ages 8,6 and 4! I also teach yoga (in all my spare time)!

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE?  I like to think of my personal style as fusion of things that inspire me: My family, music, spirituality, etc. Essentially, this correlates to fun shirts sporting some of my favorite bands (Band of Heathens, Uncle Lucius, The Black Keys, Fleetwood Mac, etc.), jeans, boots (Old Gringo is a favorite), nature-inspired brass jewelry, and of course a great bag, because I tend to carry tons of shit!

WHAT REWILDER BAG DO YOU CARRY?  I love the roomy Cornerstone and own it in various colors; navy, carbon, poppy.

DESCRIBE ONE ITEM IN YOUR BAG IN DETAIL.  It’s a small, round pewter piece with a Guardian Angel on it. I’ve had it forever. Oddly, I have no idea where it came from? I don’t recall buying it, or it being given to me as a gift. I guess we just found each other?

TELL US SOMETHING SURPRISING YOU DISCOVERED ABOUT YOUR BAG.  It’s totally kid-proof! It’s scratch, tear and stain-proof! It’s the Super-Hero of Accessories!

WHAT'S ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE THINGS TO DO IN YOUR CITY?  Go see live music! I love learning about new bands and musicians. Both San Francisco and Marin County (where I live) have great music venues, including The Fillmore and The Independent ( in SF), The Fox Theater (Oakland), and Sweetwater and Terrapin Crossroads (in Marin).

WHAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB?  I never think of being a mom as a job. For me, it’s a gift. I’m blessed to be in a position where I can be with them as much as I am. They continuously inspire and humble me! Akin to this is my foundation in yoga. Like my children, it feeds my soul. Between my role as a mother and that as a yoga instructor, I have the best job in the world!

WHAT IS A BOOK YOU RECENTLY LOVED?  The Road to Moral Character by David Brooks and Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. I'm also doing some advanced yoga studies and I love reading and about its history and practices.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT CARRYING A REWILDER BAG?  I love its’ unique design and its’ utilitarian functionality.

LIST 5 THINGS YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT.  

The first isn’t a ‘thing’ but I can’t leave them off my list b/c they are my EveryTHING!

  1. My husband and children

  2. Yoga

  3. Books

  4. Music

  5. Coffee (well, maybe, but it wouldn’t be pretty!)

As part of Rewilder Life, 25% of the profits of any bag purchased using the code Capucine will be donated to the Give Back Yoga Foundation
