Description
The Sophia Bag in Orange radiates warmth, energy, and effortless chic. Handcrafted from premium full grain Italian leather in a vibrant yet sophisticated orange hue, it brings a sunlit glow to your everyday wardrobe. This lively colour is beautifully offset by the bag’s soft Liberty floral cotton lining and gold-toned hardware, adding richness and depth to its playful spirit. Whether styled against crisp neutrals or layered with autumnal tones, the orange Sophia offers a refreshing pop of colour that feels both contemporary and timeless. Designed for those who embrace joyful elegance, it’s a striking accessory with unmistakable character—crafted to brighten every occasion.
The design is elevated with a polished gold-toned zip and a detachable chain strap that lends a refined, jewellery-like accent—perfect for evenings—while an optional adjustable leather strap transforms it into a more relaxed, everyday crossbody.
* Please note, leather strap is an add-on option. Sophia bag by default comes with gold-tone chain.
Thoughtfully proportioned, the Sophia is more than just beautiful—it’s practical too. Despite its compact size, it comfortably fits your daily essentials: a phone, keys, glasses case, up to five credit cards tucked into the smooth brown cowhide leather card pocket, and a few go-to makeup items.
A discreetly embossed Anya Sushko logo at the back is a subtle mark of authenticity and artisanal craftsmanship. For added versatility, the gold chain can be swapped for an adjustable leather strap, allowing you to style the bag as a crossbody or shoulder companion, day or night.
Available in six distinctive shades—from bright pink and citrus orange to trendy green and rich, dark tones—the Sophia Bag is an expression of individuality, timeless design, and everyday luxury.
Each Sophia Bag can be personalised with your initials, in gold or blind debossing on the upper top front —making your piece entirely your own. Whether marking a special moment, gifting a loved one, or simply celebrating your style, personalisation adds a layer of meaning and uniqueness that transforms this handcrafted bag into a treasured keepsake.
For an extra-special touch, each bag can also be presented in our signature luxury gift-wrap: a smart black box with an embossed gold logo, finished with a grosgrain ribbon.

CRAFTSMANSHIP
Handmade in England
Each product is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans in England with great attention to detail, using traditional leather making techniques. The products are handmade in the finest Italian full-grain leather, which is beautifully soft and only gets better with age. The raw edges of the leather are finished using a specialist hot iron and after that a few coats of water-resistant dye in dark brown is applied to keep them smooth and polished.
Leathercraft is an intricate and mesmerising process. It can take weeks, even months, to take the product from an initial idea to the final prototype, depending on the complexity of the design and detail involved.
Craftsmanship
Our Leather
Most Anya Sushko bags are made using full-grain Italian leather, which is soft, subtle, yet also hard wearing. Italian leather is distinguished by its fine quality and unique characteristics, the result of a combination of traditional craftsmanship and time-honoured techniques.
Our Italian leather comes in a large array of colours which means we can accommodate all tastes..

About the Designer
Anya says: “It is so fulfilling to observe how, from a flat piece of leather, a three-dimensional product appears that is not only beautiful but also practical and useful. Sometimes I look at some of my complex products and can hardly believe I handmade them myself! The amount of work that goes into making bags is incredible".
Born in Riga, Latvia, when it was still part of the USSR, Anya’s childhood was marked by the typical Soviet challenges: no access to foreign goods and limited exposure to Western culture. Anya compensated for this, like a lot of Russians, by involving herself vigorously in classical Russian arts such as ballet, gymnastics, piano-playing and fine art. From an early age, with the encouragement of her mother, Anya also learnt to make herself beautiful clothes and accessories.
Her creative flair led her to study architecture and then interior design in Riga. Later, she was talent-spotted by the Central Saint Martins’s College of Art and Design in London, and after graduating from there she undertook a degree in Product Design Development for Leather Accessories at the London College of Fashion.
