She kicked off her journey with essential ready-to-wear pieces, footwear, and, eventually, handbags. SAOI has proven from time to time again that its silhouettes are destined to fit your everyday wardrobe for every personality. With the craze surrounding her sought-after kitten heels, her handbags are no different. Its latest drop, titled ‘Cosmopolitan’, was an inspiring tribute to every fashion girl’s dream. It’s a way of embracing New York City with a hint of ‘Sex and the City’ and ‘Gossip Girl’ playing in the back of our minds.
