Alf is all about stylish, leather nappy bags for mum's who want their practical bags to look amazing as well as having all sorts of clever storage features to make staying organised, easier. Sophie was inspired to start Alf by her own need for a practical bag, that held everything, and looked beautiful doing it. So, she designed a bag for herself, had it made from leather in Bali and brought it home. Very soon, all her friends were asking about it, and wanting their own, and Alf the business was born. Sophie has a marketing career behind her, from her 'other life', and is ahead of the game in terms of branding, communications, content and understanding her customers. She has plenty of great insights to share on all of these topics. The story of Alf (the label) is all about a personal need turning into a product, and that product becoming popular. Alf has a great product, a nice niche and smart, authentic branding and marketing based on understanding the mums who are their community.
