Sophie Hulme launched her eponymous British accessories brand in 2011, quickly gaining a cult following for her structured, logo-free leather bags. Operating out of a converted toy factory in Islington, London, Hulme built a reputation for championing quiet luxury and anti-throwaway craftsmanship. The brand's signature aesthetic was defined by clean-lined, tough-edged silhouettes accented with distinctive 24-karat gold-plated hardware, most notably seen on the iconic Albion tote. Hulme's designs skillfully meshed sophistication, military-inspired utilitarianism, and whimsy, often accompanied by seasonal collectible charms like golden dinosaurs or chip forks.
