A New Face

Sahra Katoğlu Bags

You tried sneaking your way on the waiting list for Kelly bag; fought hard to get hold of the iconic Birkin; and had to settle for that cheap counterfeit made somewhere in China by ‘sweatshop boys’. 

OK, these two remain the ultimate in prestige and luxury in handbag universe, so what?  And why spend so much money on something you can’t live in or drive away?  Girls, there are other ways to go out of the house than with a treasure worth of ostrich skin and tassled padlocks on your arm.   

Enter the ‘young’ and ‘talented’ designer handbags—like Sahra Katoğlu’s.    

Exhibited first in Galatamoda Festival in May, Sahra’s designs were immediately scooped up by talent hunters near and far.  Her bags feature pop art images of young women—a la Andy Warhol’s Marilyn— among others. 

Grab a cheeky number in the form of a holdall, or, better, buy one for yourself and one for your laptop, ‘cause Sahra also designs bags for that all important ‘other man’ in your office life.

Cherish all your bags the same.  Whether they came from Prada or Primark; and shout ‘classic’ or ‘quirky’.

Sahra Katoğlu Bags.  Available at L’appart, Abdi İpekçi Cad., Lalezar Apt. 45/14.  Nişantaşı.  0212 240 3457 or lappartpr.com
