Sachin & Babi Unveils Exclusive Shoe & Handbag Collection to Enhance Their Iconic Signature Line
Sachin & Babi, the dynamic husband-and-wife design duo known for their vibrant colors, daring silhouettes, and intricate embellishments are launching an exquisite line of shoes and handbags as an extension of their eponymous occasion wear collection. The line is set to launch in February but will be available for pre-order from November 9th.
Responding to the desires of their loyal customer base, the couple is thrilled to unveil the collection that caters to the demand for shoes and handbags to complement their evening, bridal, and occasion wear designs. Sachin expressed his excitement stating, “Our customers have been asking for accessories to go with our dresses for quite some time. It felt like the right moment, especially given our exponential growth in recent years.” Babi added, “We are thrilled to become that one-stop shop for our customers. It makes sense for the brand, and the styles are all classic, forever pieces.”
The shoe collection includes the ‘Lenox,’ a closed-toe, obi-bow slingback which debuts in four colorways: Cerise and Noir Flower in Duchess Satin, as well as Garden Club and Pink Lemonade in Faille. Designed with both style and comfort in mind, these shoes boast a cushioned sole. The second style, the ‘Chelsea’ is an open-toe strappy pump available in two colors: Electric Lime and Blue Ikat Floral.
Accompanying the shoes are three captivating bag styles. The ‘On The Rocks’ convertible clutch showcases a gold tone finish, faceted step-cut crystal embellishments, fuchsia lining with interior pocket, and a removable gold tone chain with top closure in both Duchess Satin or Faille. The six colorways include Noir Wildflower, Deep Pink Dahlia, Cerise, Swiss Blue, Garden Club and Pink Lemonade Bouquet.
The ‘Bubbly Bag,’ an evening bag with a silver tone finish, features a pearl and crystal embellished half-moon top handle, fuchsia lining with interior pocket, and a removable gold tone chain with top closure, offered in Black and Pewter.
Lastly, the ‘Cupid’s Clutch,’ in Electric Lime and Silver Sequin, boasts a silver finish, a removable silver tone chain with top closure, and what will become a signature fuchsia lining with interior pocket.
In line with their philosophy that fashion is a reflection of where we want to be and a glimpse of who we are or could be, if only for one day or night, Sachin & Babi’s new accessories line, like their ready-to-wear collections, is designed for life’s special moments, both big and small. Each season, new colorways will be introduced, allowing customers to effortlessly complement their wardrobe. “Our customer has gratefully made it clear to us that she appreciates our aesthetic point of view and our attention to her lifestyle. She trusts us to be her companion to some of her most memorable moments, and that is incredibly meaningful,” notes Amy Riordan, CEO of Sachin & Babi. “The introduction of these two new categories feels natural and a precursor of more things to come. It is our intention to thoughtfully introduce new and beautiful products as we continue this exciting time of growth.”
