You may know Sophie Katirai as the creative brains behind the coloured eyes and butterfly IG filters that *every* celeb in the whole wide world has used, but the Dubai-based artist and influencer has added another notch to her (seriously chic) belt: PPE provider.

The masks, which double up as cute bows for your hair, are available are her eponymous boutique, Sophie’s Closet, and were created in collaboration with milliner Flor Tellado.

“I found Florencia Tellado work on Instagram and was instantly drawn to her unique style and the quality of her work,” Sophie tells us. “I had been searching for a mask that was both safe and stylish; the bow and removable visors are so cute, and the mask itself has a thick yet soft center, which covers the nose, mouth and chin. You can tie it tightly yet comfortably to the top of your head like a headband.”

Sophie’s Closet was founded back in 2009 after Sophie went on a mission to stock a boutique full of all the jewellery and headbands that the world fell in love with on each Gossip Girl character. Fast-forward a decade, and the PPE-inspired headband still effervesces Blair Waldorf vibes. 

“Women in the Middle East are very stylish and I cannot imagine any of my friends wanting to be seen in a basic mask, so these pieces will be a hit for sure,” Sophie adds. “My favourite at the moment is the black silk and tweed piece that is available for pre-order at sophiescloset.com for Dhs495. We will be unveiling our exclusive collaboration piece very soon so keep an eye!”
