Inspired by their country’s landscape, pure classic lines also reflect their customer desires in emphasizing softness, sophistication, and shapes that reflect the beauty of the female form.

Afshin Feiz
Fans of smart city wear circa 1930 will be delighted with this season’s contemporary take showing light, fresh pieces meant to take a girl from the daily grind to glam in a matter of moments.
Slinking into summer is a two-step by way of The Cotton Club, with Iraqi designer, Afshin Feiz, taking swipes from a color palette of soft pinks, greens, and slivers of chocolate brown. Petal hemmed tops, skimming pencil line skirts, flouncing hemlines, contrast piping of strappy silk dresses means whimsy is the new what-to-wear word.
Based in Paris, Feiz began his career as an apprentice with several international designers such as John Galliano before moving onto claiming a personal fashion plate he could call his own. His passion for music and poetry is evident in the choices of fabric and the way they fall, perhaps revealing ideas of history and multiculturalism that are fast becoming staple subjects in our modern world.

Bryna Nicole
Only women can know what goes on with the things we have in our bags. So then it must take one to know one and then to create the carry case needed to surround our stuff in style…enter designer, Bryna Nicole.
Years spent as a stylist for a chic boutique in her native San Francisco left the 20-something noticing that a bag needed to capture the mood of the woman carrying it, then dreamed up her line, thereby filling a gap in the accessory market without grabbing the remaining inches in one’s wardrobe.
Combining fine Italian leather, detailed construction, and signature braided handles, Bryna Nicole designs are meant to take your style effortlessly from one thought to the next – leaving you able to mix the trend of today into tomorrow without the touting of a hefty price tag.

Amanda Che
An entrepreneur from age five, Amanda Che sold homemade teddy bears to neighbors. It was this early business savvy and flair for fabric that led to her formal training at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in LA and shortly after her graduation, the A.Che collection was born.
Growing up with family in the lingerie and swimwear-manufacturing arena, the designer learned first hand about a quality product, detailing and design.
A southern California native, Che was influenced by Hollywood’s most beloved leading ladies, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn. Taking the sensuous, womanly, elegant essences of these women and perhaps in keeping with her plush teddy bear start, Che has chosen silky soft deerskin to make this collection of an exquisite selection of handbags, wallets, and belts. Her travels to Thailand found her the perfect artisans to adorn her collection with the signature knot detailing of the A. Che line, while the pieces are adorned with a logo plate of hand-sewn Swarovksi crystals.
