UK luxury accessories label Sophie Hulme, known for its leather bags with gold detailing, is taking its global sales and marketing in-house as part of its global expansion plan.

The brand has appointed Teresio Blanchetti as Global Head of Sales. Blanchetti was previously at Christopher Kane. To ensure a seamless handover, the new in-house team will work alongside the Polly King team for the upcoming Resort 16 season campaign.

Hulme says: "We are excited to be taking the brand forward as a full in-house team for the first time, but at the same time are in many ways sad to be parting ways with Polly King and her team. We thank them for all their work for us over recent years.”

Sophie Hulme has also set up a new in-house communications team, which will be lead by Global Communications Director Diane Crook.
