Blog of note

Ciaafrique

I am sooo loving this blog, I came across it a few days ago via Africana 's Wardrobe Diary which I came across via...I could go on all night. I have gone through most if not all of her previous posts and I must say thumbs up to her. The blog is managed by a Malian Lady and she blogs a lot about African designers home and away, African models strutting their stuff on the international scene and at home too, she gives props to legends and others deserving, she also takes the time to shine the spotlight on the unknown designers as well wow! In her words " I am planning on writing about everything concerning Africa from fashion to music, business to artists, movies to fashion and of course a little bit of politics and place to visit in Africa" I have discovered sooo many inspiring designers whose sites I know I will visit and I will write about from time to time. Kudos girl! Check out the blog here.

Utility bags

Check out these new utility bags I just made. I call them utility bags cos that is what they are, these bags can be anything you want them to be...carrier bags, traveling bags, shopping bags, communal bags, overnight bags, laundry bags... just name it.
There are two versions of these utility bags, the Emerald green version which I call the "Anthem utility" bag has my Country's National Anthem written all over it yeah! yeah!! call me patriotic...I just used the colors I would have used if I had designed the Nigerian flag...you know emerald green on white with a bit of red and brown here and there.
The Read and Brown version on the other hand I call the "Yes! We Can" Utility Bags inspired of course by the "Yes we can" slogan made very popular by President Barack Obama, what I did was to add other positive things we can all do to make our own little differences like Yes! we can protect, Yes! we can love, Yes! we can recycle, Yes! we can hope, Yes! we can forgive and so on.

These bags measure 22" high, 18" wide and 9"depth which make them HUGE! handles are adjustable, bottom is all leather. The emerald green version was custom made for AY and it has double zips so that it can be locked with a padlock while the Red and Brown version close and open easily with snap buttons. Bags are fully lined with zipped compartments and pouches. The picture below will give you an idea of what inside looks like.

The red and brown bags are available for sale, if interested contact me for price and shipping cost.

More leather accessories

I am in the accessories frame of mind. These lovely bangles are all made from leather and are also available for sale. Bangles are unique, stylish, definitely hip and will compliment the arm and compliment the wrist and... let me not get carried away. If interested contact me for availability and cost including shipping if outside Lagos.

Currently working on some utility bags so check back soon...and have a fantastic weekend.
