We are a Miami-based jewelry brand by Argentine designer Sofia Pagano, featuring a collection of handcrafted Lucite jewelry and contemporary designs. Each piece is individually made by hand, ensuring its uniqueness as a true one-of-a-kind statement accessory. The collections vary from contemporary intricate knots to bold geometric forms, always pushing forward the idea of wearable art in an iconoclastic edge.
SOFIA PAGANO
Sofia Pagano was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to an Italian jewelry designer and an Argentine sailor. At age eleven, she sailed from Buenos Aires to Miami with her family, a formative journey that inspires much of her work today.
On that sailboat, she began crafting with ropes—learning the strength and symbolism of knots. These early experiences became the heart of CHOFA’s identity.
Now based in Miami, Sofia designs between her two studios in Miami and Buenos Aires. She studied Art Business at Christie’s Education, London, and holds an MBA from Endicott College, Massachusetts. With a background in the global art world, Sofia brings both artistry and intention to every collection.
At CHOFA, knots are more than just a form, they are an emotion."My designs are inspired by intricate knots, and there is a distinctive balance between art, love, and nautical influence. Across cultures, knots represent an unbreakable bond and the concept of eternal love and connection.
I strive to translate this symbolism into handcrafted pieces that are both meaningful and wearable. Each design invites self-expression through bold, timeless jewelry that celebrates individuality, honors artistry, and embraces slow fashion in a colorful way."
To be the ultimate destination for handcrafted Lucite jewelry and contemporary designs — offering an extensive color palette, custom sizes, and personalized creations. CHOFA envisions a world where jewelry is not just an accessory, but a work of art.
BOLD | UNIQUE | TIMELESS.
