Aksuona Clutch Bags now at Farfallina


The quest for the ‘perfect’ handbag, which is of course every woman’s favourite accessory, is never-ending. After all, a handbag defines a woman’s personal style and individuality. It was this quest that gave birth to Aksuona Brand.

Aksuona is a British label created in May 2007 by Natasha Anouska Kapur – owner, designer, and true handbag aficionado! Natasha’s desire for something more exciting and unique than mass produced handbags saw her begin designing and creating her own collection of handbags. Her vision was that of artfully handcrafted evening bags that were both simple and stylish, complemented with a touch of vintage glamour. Aksuona represents the marriage of the quality and sophistication one would expect of a designer label, with a uniqueness and inspiration that creates true individual style. The result...affordable luxury...a range of bags perfectly suited for the modern fashionista with an eye for the most exact attention to detail.

Seductive materials sourced from all over the world; hand-woven leathers, raw silks, chic printed linings and Swarovski crystal embellishments are examples of what you will find in an Aksuona Handbag. Each handbag is created by the most highly skilled craftsmen and special attention is paid to the intricate hand-finished details using traditional Indian techniques.

Aksuona handbags can already be found in many boutiques and can be bought online here at Farfallina.net
