One of the most exciting times in the launch of a new collection is introducing the handbags for the first time. A few weeks ago, we treated you to the first real glimpse of the Ella Tote bag in this blog, and now it’s time to do the same for the Sophy Clutch; completing the arrival of the SHERENE MELINDA AW15 collection.
Inspiration
The Sophy Clutch was designed with the intention of creating an eveningwear handbag that could also still compliment a daytime outfit. The handbag has firstly filled a gap in the SHERENE MELINDA range, by offering a smaller sized bag that is the perfect accompaniment to a night out. This idea has been implemented further by adopting simplicity for you and safety for your possessions. Combining a magnetic snap-shut and zip closure with an additional inside zipped pocket and keyring attachment, the inside of the bag has been thoughtfully designed to give you quick and easy access to essential items wherever you are.
Secondly, we have added a detachable silver-coloured chain shoulder strap so that the clutch bag may also be worn over the shoulder rather than being positioned under your arm or clutched in your hand as you carry out your daily errands. The colour and the quality of the chain also easily compliments an evening outfit.
Look a little closer
Similar to the Ella Tote bag, the Sophy Clutch uses a type of leather new to the SHERENE MELINDA range. The inside is fully lined with silky smooth pig skin leather, which has not been dyed or treated using any artificial chemicals. As mentioned previously, it also includes a separate internal zipped pocket and keyring attachment. The softness of this luxurious leather is the perfect addition to the authentic springbok hair-on-hide, which is equally as appealing to the touch.
Spoilt for attention
The Sophy Clutch has only just been released online and already it’s drawing the eyes and ears of some top bloggers, influencers and celebrities. Nyané recently decorated the artistic and stylish wall of her fashion-driven Instagram account with a natural Sophy Clutch, to the tune of almost 10,000 likes.
Equally, through launching the Sophy Clutch at The Spirit of Christmas Fair, the Country Living Christmas Fair and later next week the Ultimate Christmas Fair, we have received countless compliments and a positive appreciation for the design of this handbag from excited customers and passers-by. We are happy with the reaction so far, and being only a short step in to the release of the newest collection, we are looking forward to seeing where its future takes us.

The day the first Sherene Melinda Silk Twill Scarves launched was a true milestone—one I'd worked toward through months of experimentation, setbacks, and small victories. The initial collection featured three carefully selected base colours, each the product of weeks of deliberation, testing, and refinement until they felt exactly right. Every scarf was hand-printed by me in the studio, a process that ensured each piece carried its own individual character and the small, beautiful imperfections that only handcrafting can bestow. Just as with our signature handbags, each scarf possesses a personality of its own, revealed through the interplay of colour, pattern, and subtle texture variations. This unwavering commitment to uniqueness and craftsmanship lies at the very heart of the brand's philosophy—celebrating individuality, creativity, and honouring the human touch behind every product we create.
Summer feels long behind us, and as the festive season unfolds, it’s that time of year when creativity and craftsmanship take centre stage. The Spirit of Christmas Fair remains one of London’s best-loved seasonal showcases — a place where individuality, story-driven design, and thoughtful gifting shine.
