It is to that backdrop that designer Sonia Rykiel opened her left bank boutique.  A cultural and sexual revolution were unfolding at one of the most creative times in modern history.  Her boutique was a scene of poets and free thinkers.  Rykiel embodied the "non-fashion" fashion that would make her famous.  Simple, chic style, oh so Parisian, created in luxury fabrics. SONIA RYKIEL HOME COLLECTION - AVAILABLE AT BLOOMINGDALES  The New Pave bag celebrates 50 years of the house.  Sonia died in 2016 at the age of 86, but her legend and creativity lives on with the brand.  Celebrate your independent style, and #RESIST LOGOS this season!!   The bag is unisex, or non-gender specific.  Find them!  BARNEYS has the bags.  Click images to shop there. **If you are really savvy, you might find the version with a guitar strap!**
