As the weather starts to heat up, we swiftly shelve our leather boots and coats and start to dress for summer. This Summer season we’re thrilled to watch the newest edition to the fashion scene, Soforia, come to life – a brand which is now filling our Christmas wish-lists as well as our wardrobes! Beautifully handmade shoes, luxurious clothing and brightly coloured hats are at the top of our “must have” lists.
The most exciting news is that Soforia is owned but the vivacious Helena Karis – who incidentally was the Showroom Manager for The Design Hunter’s very first little store in Charing Cross!! We sat down with Helena to discuss her new venture, the brand and it’s incredible products.

I definitely want them to feel very special & feminine. My favourite? It’s impossible to pick one item. The entire collection is beautiful. Every product has a story and that is very important to me and to Soforia’s philosophy.

We know you travel a lot, tell us your favourite place to visit?
The Greek Islands is my absolute favourite place to visit. It was the inspiration for the new Soforia range. Spetses, Milos, and Kythera are particular favourite haunts – azure waters, great food and laid back people.
Where are you eating out?
I love Fratelli Paradiso with great company – and nothing beats the beachside location of Coogee Pavilion with family.
What’s on your Christmas wish list this year?
Family time is definitely at the top of my wish list this year. It’s been a busy year bringing this range to life, so some down time with loved ones is what I’m craving!
WE LOVE
