A BAG FOR LIFE (IN EVERY SENSE)

I caught up with my friend Edel during the week who I hadn’t seen for over a month. She was super excited telling me about her recent treat to herself – a Chanel 2.55 handbag.

Santi handbags are handmade in India by craftsmen who have mastered their skills over centuries using materials such as fine silk, sequins, crystals, shells, beads, embroidery, leather and stones in all different shades and intricate designs with clear inspiration from contemporary fashions to vintage looks.
