I have to confess, designer handbags are my passion and I know I can depend on Sofia al Asfoor for subtle luxury and the finest quality. We already reported on young and talented Sofia a year ago – her creations leave nothing to be desired!

She has looked deep into our feminine souls. Women who carry her bags are spontaneous, fun-loving, creative and sometimes a bit chaotic.  Active and independent, they know exactly what interests them and how to enjoy life. They want to enjoy opulence and for them, a handbag is a mobile beauty salon, an emergency kit and a pharmacy.  A fashion accessory that can double as a reliable bodyguard!

Alfred Hitchcock showed the symbiotic relationship between handbag and wearer in his 1954 film Rear Window. Grace Kelly discovers the final clue to the murder of her neighbour when she realises the woman’s handbag has been hanging on the bedpost in her apartment for days. She concludes that a woman would never leave the apartment without it, because, says Kelly, only death can separate a woman from her favourite bag.

In the 1970s and 1980s, fashion designers began to launch handbag collections – styling without a handbag? Unthinkable! For film stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Charlize Theron, or women like you and me, a handbag is an integral part of our wardrobe. All women want to adorn themselves with the hottest handbags of the season.

We are happy to show you some of the most coveted handbags from Sofia – please feel free to add them to your personal wish list!
