SONJA BENSON

July 5, 2008  
For those who live or vacation in Naples, Florida, Sonja Benson is synonymous with brilliantly chic handbags. Her boutique in Old Naples is well known and sought after by the fashionable denizens who shop along Third Street South. The gallery-like shop exhibits her always changing, surprising, fresh handbags.

A life-long artist, Sonja began designing handbags in 1990. She has successfully retailed her whimsical, hand-tailored bags from Massachusetts, Washington, and Colorado. In 1997 she sold her first company, Femtio, to Vera Bradley Designs, Inc., a strategic move to advance her production skills. Her current boutique is the finest of her retail endeavors, backed by a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.

Sonja Benson’s gift with color is evident in every collection she designs. Her bags are often surprising combinations of colors paired with unexpected trims and linings. Keeping an eye on quality, she uses only the finest fabrics and top-notch hardware, and is personally involved in developing the construction of each bag. Function plays an important role in Sonja's handbags -- useful pockets for cell phones, checkbooks, and keys are always included. From design to creation, Sonja is focused on every imaginable detail of what makes her handbags irresistible.
