daph.

daph. is a St. Louis-based fashion and lifestyle brand for women that features handmade clothing, handbags and accessories inspired by the unique artistry, craftsmanship and materials of Peru. Designed by Peru native and St. Louisan Daphne Benzaquen, our handbags and clothing are created to be timeless and standout pieces, providing high-quality elegance and versatility at an approachable price point.
We value quality over quantity, which is why we handcraft each of our items using durable and sustainable Peruvian resources. This approach also helps us create each piece with minimal environmental impact.
We work with manufacturers who adhere to environmentally safe practices, create minimal waste, and implement our creative designs to maximize the resources’ potential.
daph. is committed to giving back, and we donate a portion of all sales to support children with special needs in Peru. Whether a woman carries a daph. llama-leather clutch or wears our super-soft alpaca fleece, she is helping the communities in Peru where our pieces are ethically, thoughtfully made.

Founder(s), CEO and/or President Daphne Benzaquen
Our founder, Daphne Benzaquen, is a native of Peru, and during a trip to the large Peruvian city Arequipa, she became intrigued by two of the country’s sustainable resources, llama leather and baby alpaca fur. By anchoring daph. designs in these and other Peruvian resources, we are proving to be a leader in high-quality, handcrafted and sustainable handbags, clothing, accessories and more for women.
