Last month Helena de Natalio’s Sofi made me swoon. Now I’m just as enamored with the label’s Sofita Shoulder Bag.
It’s no surprise really, as the two bags are very similar. They’re both made from gorgeous Argentinean leather, a skin which emphasizes the bags’ incredible slouchy profile. The leather gathers about the hardware in the same way, and with a similar unstructured shape it’s also bound to become a puddle of a purse the moment you set it down.
On the plus side, just like the Sofi the buckles at the front and sides are more than just aesthetically pleasing. They also help the Sofita convert from a shoulder bag to a satchel to a cross-body bag in an instant.
But there are a few important differences to consider if you’re feeling torn. The Sofita is a shade smaller than the Sofi, and in my opinion that’s a real positive. It’s still more than capable of carrying essentials and a few luxuries; it’ll just complement the average frame a little more than its oversized sister.
Surprisingly considering its smaller stature the Sofita is priced at $500, a few dollars more than the larger Sofi. That might put some people off, but I think the more practical stature makes it worth the splurge.
