About the designer

Sonia Vassi's roots as a designer started with rock and roll, so to speak. She had taken to knitting to keep herself busy during the rigorous process of touring with her rock band, creating a scarf to wear as she traveled around the US to play shows. Little did she know, that one small item would push her to become one of the hottest fashion accessory designers in the country. After several months of being stopped on the street about her unique, one-of-a-kind designs, Vassi recruited her younger sister, Anna, then a celebrity personal assistant, to launch a line of scarves and ponchos like none other seen. Today, Sonia Vassi's exclusive designs are carried in some of the hottest boutiques in the country, with a celebrity clientele that includes Jennifer Lopez, Faith Hill, Britney Murphy, Julie Brown and many, many others. Vassi's success is without doubt attributed to the rare and exquisite yarns she hand selects and imports from Italy, as well as the personal service she provides each customer. From the ultra-soft, luxurious Chic and Gaisha lines to the Star collection, which is hand-dyed, hand-tied and comprised of over 40 different types of yarn, clients are able to choose from dozens of sizes, shapes and colors, or can work with Vassi to customize their piece for a true, signature item.
