The polished and
pretty designs of Isabelle & Sophie leather bags and accessories are
perfect for those looking for a little bit of a texture-twist. The owner and
designer of Isabelle & Sophie, Michelle creates gorgeous, classic pieces
that compare and contrast the tactile nature of the materials
chosen.
The talented Michelle
originates from Toronto, received her degree in Fashion Design from Ryerson University,
and started Isabelle & Sophie has a side project while working in the
corporate apparel design industry. Michelle began exploring leather as a medium when she was
taken over by the desire to learn how to manipulate, create, and sew using
materials that were neither woven nor knit. She had an eagerness to make
something people would cherish and use for a long time.
In Michelle's designs, leather is often paired with fabrics, solid colours with print, and smooth with texture.
“Above all, Isabelle
& Sophie is an expression of a desire for well-made, distinctive designs
that are fun, feminine, and don’t take themselves too seriously.”
Isabelle &
Sophie’s latest fall/winter collection “Boarding School”, explores some
traditional silhouettes, such as framed doctor’s bags, with experiments in
woven leather textures and canvas/leather combinations.
