Anyone who has been following The Amanqi Edit from the beginning (both on social media & the platform), must be knowing that there’s one brand that we’re absolutely in love with; L’Afshar. Launched in 2013 by designer Lilian Afshar, the accessory label has quickly emerged as a ‘must-have’ amongst all style purveyors in the Middle East & beyond (Team Amanqi included).

Demonstrating an eye for contrasting textures & paying careful attention to the finest of details, Lilian creates a line-up of much coveted clutches which channel a contemporary aesthetic like no other. Whether it’s her signature use of marble or playful experimentation with glass, the L’Afshar clutches are sartorial art pieces which instantly up the oomph factor of any ensemble (a simple, structured black outfit with a L’Afshar clutch always scores full points on the fashion meter).

When we’re not obsessing over Lilian’s beautifully curated Instagram feed (Is there anything she can’t do?), we’re eagerly looking forward to discovering which new pieces & collections the designer has in store for us. After all, one L’Afshar clutch is simply not enough.
This new addition means that the clutches are no longer only perfect for soirees, but make for impressive day accompaniments as well.
Inspired by the most exclusive club in New York in the 1970s, Studio 54, L’Afshar’s SS17 collection is a sublime amalgamation of differing shapes and textures which embody a vibrant energy much like the regulars at the hot spot. The disparate textured nature of the clutches and the inventive use of geometry will surely turn heads no matter where you go. Amongst the many stunning pieces (The ‘Bianca‘ is definitely a favourite!), one of the highlights of the collection is the newly added top-handle on the ‘Classic White Marble‘ & ‘Clear Crushed Ice‘. This new addition means that the clutches are no longer only perfect for soirees, but make for impressive day accompaniments as well.
