These luxury handbags are handcrafted in Lagos by a team of local artisans, sold locally and internationally on the website, and described as a ‘collector’s dream’. Additionally, considering the ethics and morals of her business, she explains that while the ‘Made in Africa’ fashion brands flourish across the continent and beyond, there is need to improve infrastructure, increase investments and create a better understating of the “business of fashion”. Therefore, her biggest challenge is the blending of business and creative sides of her company in a way that one does not negatively affect the other.
The contrasting colours offer a vibrancy feel to it, and the reptile print leather and genuine python skin in the Python selection brashly shouts out both its homage with an exotic look, emphasising its exclusivity. The handbags available are both suitable for work and collection, offering compact space and zip and phone pockets, however, are also perfect either during the day or evening, effortlessly adding glamour to any day-to-day outfit.
