NADIA DAFRI

There are bags you buy, and there are bags you keep. Nadia Dafri clutches belong to the second kind: crocheted entirely by hand, they carry the gesture of the woman who made them.

Sunlit stripes, marine gradients, gold-plated brass: every piece is unique, every stitch is a decision. No two are quite alike.

This is the very definition of slow luxury, the kind that takes exactly as long as it needs to. And that is precisely why Le Shop 17 chose it.

Nadia Dafri has the destiny of an adventurer. The designer travels the world to meet artisans from every horizon, to discover their stories, explore their workshops and learn their techniques. Those encounters feed each of her collections: for her, every journey is a discovery, and every discovery fuels inspiration and creativity.

Guided by a strong ethical compass and a deep respect for traditional craftsmanship, she writes her story day after day, one stitch at a time. From New York to Saint-Tropez, from Tokyo to Paris, her collections are shown in the world's most selective concept stores and in the most prestigious multi-brand boutiques.

The art of crochet

The Midiye clutches are made in Turkey, by hand, by women artisans from villages near the Black Sea. A single piece takes between three and five days of work. Nothing is industrialised: the shape, the size and the tension of the stitch vary slightly from one bag to the next, and that is exactly where the value lies.

The 1.10 metre strap is made of gold-plated brass, a clean contrast between the softness of the yarn and the shine of the metal. Each bag comes with its protective pouch. Carried by day over a flowing dress, by night over a dark suit, the Midiye moves through the hours without ever changing register.
