SONYA KASHMIRI LONDON - Focus on a London based designer with roots from Tanzania






Sonya Kashmiri launched her eponymous accessories label in London in Autumn 2008, and has since exhibited at both LONDON and PARIS fashion weeks. The collections use a combination of natural and organic materials such as Italian chrome free leathers to create sculptural, elegant and desirable items with a sustainable edge. There is a strong focus on structure and shape, symmetry and detailing such as clean raw edge seams that has since become a signature of the brand.  All Accessories are produced in Portugal and the majority of materials are sourced and made within Europe.

 
 
Sonya Kashmiri has worked as a designer since 1997, with brands such as Acupuncture footwear and Biba. It was whilst training in footwear design at the renowned Cordwainer's college that Sonya developed her love for design and an affinity for natural materials.
 

After seven years in the industry, she returned to do an M.A. with a focus on craftsmanship and won a scholarship from the prestigious Girdlers, the Guild of bag makers.

     One of her stockists, as seen here, is Boutique Sixty Nine B in East London, UK.


 Livia Firth, online VOGUE, loved her bags soo much that she bought a few and features them often when she does her fashion updates,' Today I Am Wearing ', on VOGUE.
