In a sea of leather handbags, kimono bags do stand out with their unique vintage charm. Since starting the label in 2016 half-named after daughter Sophia, Shirley has proven her craftsmanship with handbags, purses, clutches and accessories all handmade with quality kimono fabrics and obi silk. Shirley returns to the show this week to fill us in on how business has grown, what makes her materials unique, and the attention she's been getting for her creations. After that, Florence Song, Style Lead at Zalora gets us up to speed with the latest trend of fringe.
