Designer Aurora James ventured into handbags and ethical fashion for the Brother Vellies Spring 2016 collection. This spring lineup is riddled with fur, python prints and other African influences that are perfect for the warmer seasons.
While Brother Vellies' African-made footwear comes as no surprise to most fashion fans, the label has finally made a foray into the wonderful world of handbags. This sustainable and stylish collection features spring-friendly footwear styles with a one-of-a-kind appeal. Beaded gladiator sandals, accented with bright feathers make an edgy contrast to the simple slides decorated with patterned fabric and bows.
Just like the label's footwear, the Brother Vellies Spring 2016 handbags are also a sight to see with shoulder bags adorned with South African pelt and water buffalo leather.
