Sasso – fun, sassy, and so much in demand

Monday 15th February 2010 2:11 PM

Retailers visiting Harrogate and looking for that little something special and a touch of vintage styling, head straight to Sasso where they'll find a delicious collection of quirky accessories

Elaine, boss of accessories design house Sasso (the company was named after one of her daughters, Sassy) has every reason to be delighted with the way her business is moving forward. Her latest collection includes vintage jewellery corsages and some amazing handmade floral headpieces that are individualistic and quite gorgeous, the buyers are loving them. Elaine's background is interesting. In 2004, she helped out an old friend in Germany who wanted to promote part of his company's bridalwear accessories in the UK. The majority of his produced were sourced from sChina, except two off white maribou shrugs that were made in Europe and proved not only to be show-stoppers but also to be the inspiration behind the company that Elaine went on to form. On her first visit to the same maribou manufacturer, Elaine found the choice of feathers was fantastic and the design possibilities endless. She got them to dye their feathers in soft shades for brides and to use ostrich, maribou and coque, and combinations of them. These wraps formed the classics that became the Sasso signature. Since then, they have been added to with feathery jackets and shrugs, colours bold and pastel and an eclectic range of vintage-style accessories that includes saucy little hats, gloves, veils, lace skull caps and jewellery. For 2010, Elaine has added bows to gloves, flowers to veils, and retro headdress inspired by the original screen goddesses. If you want to be charmed, check Sasso out.
