Handbags, Bags, Childrenswear

My name is Buhlebenkosi Mkwananzi from Zimbabwe. I make leather handbags, atelier and handcrafted styles. I have a strong passion for sustainability and preserving the environment. This passion is the reason i got into leather. The other reason is that my dad has a farm where he rears cows. His passion for his cows has inspired me to love everything about leather. The texture and durability is amazing. My end goal is to provide exclusive, beautiful regal leather products. Products that can be treasured and cherished for a longer time than trendy fast fashion. Being part of the competition will help me take my Nguni Royalty to the world as i embed that in my designs.
