It all started with a nail polish.
Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld sent models down the Fall 2009 runway with jade green nails, and since the infamous couture show, the color has taken the fashion world by storm. Even the boys are showing up in the verdant tone!
Enter the “Sofi” Satchel by Helena de Natalio. In five colors, the “Sofi” is the one to reach for time and time again: it’s got a convertible strap so it can slouch stylishly under the shoulder or hang out near your hips as a messenger. Brand designer Helen Hobbock Lubetkin sweetens the deal with stringent fair working conditions and wages, and a portion of all proceeds going to an Argentinean non-profit. But what really makes us all aflutter over this piece is the bottle green incarnation. The kind of bag you’d die to ask a gal about if you saw her wearing it on the bus, it references the color of the season without overt trendiness. It’s the cool girl of your closet, and she’ll be around for a while.
