Fashion for a Cause: All About Elisa Sednaoui’s New Egypt-Inspired Line of Accessories

Model, actress, and philanthropist, Elisa Sednaoui, is launching a new collection of backpacks, pouches, carryalls, and accessories in collaboration with French accessories label Josefina. Profits generated from the venture will go toward Sednaoui’s educational social enterprise Funtasia.

Handcrafted by artisans in Spain, the accessories pay homage to Sednaoui’s Egyptian roots; each item in the collection is decorated with imagery of Nile crocodiles or the Abyssinian cat,  a representation of the ancient Egyptian sun god, Ra.

This is not the first time Sednaoui collaborates with another entity to benefit her social educational enterprise, Funtasia. Last November, she partnered with former Libyan Princess Alia Al-Senussi to curate the “Contemporary Curated” auction at Sotheby’s London, in which profit from 10 of the works being auctioned contributed to Funtasia.

The Elisa Sednaoui Foundation was founded in 2013 with the aim of providing children with access to innovative, hands-on creative learning experiences.
