Fashion alert! Fan of inspired fashion, eager for novelties and elegance, it is with great pleasure that we invite you to discover the very young brand of fashion accessories By Solawa and its charming creator Sophie LAWANI-WESLEY.
From an early age, Sophie Lawani-Wesley was a fashion fan and admired the outfits of the stars in vogue: Madonna, Prince, etc. At the same time, her mother collects colorful shawls that complement her sober working girl outfits. After training at Studio Berçot where her talents for color and pattern are revealed, it is not surprising that several years later, Sophie felt the need to create her own line of shawls and bandanas simply named: By Solawa. A way to express his creativity and his refusal of conventions. A desire to offer women unconventional and feminine stoles.
Each model is drawn by hand, in watercolor, following artistic and exotic inspirations. After assembling the patterns on a computer, the high-quality printing and in small series is done in Italy in a company well known to Haute Couture houses, on wool and silk or silk fabrics.
Two formats are available, bandanas, from February, small 100% silk squares, and wool and silk stoles whose proportions vary depending on the summer or winter collection.
More and more designer shops and pop-up stores are hosting Bysolawa's precious collections. An e-shop is also available. To discover the brand via an interview with the designer.
We were struck by the shimmering colors and poetic patterns transcribed on the scarves and bandanas. The "surprise" patterned scarves of the next collection are very original and can be worn in many ways for a striking effect.
