“AMMA” is Icelandic for “Grandmother” and the AMMA series of bags are named after the ancestors of one of our BAGETTES.

The AMMA bags are hard-working, dependable bags that come in a variety of shapes and sizes but all sport the appealing front zippered pocket application. “AMMA” is Icelandic for “Grandmother” and all the bags in this collection are named after the female ancestors of one of our BAGETTES.

SOFFIA has the same front zipper styling as the other AMMAS but has her own unique shape - with a curvy semi-circular outline. SOFFIA is designed to be soft and slouchy, but that is up to you - make a firmer bag with heavier interfacing or exterior fabric choices.
