THROUGH THE EYES OF AFRICAN BEAUTY AND SUSATAINABILITY - leather project.

Category: Accessories

This rewoven Heritage project is a culturally inspired accessory project that consists of four major components: a satchel, wall hangings, necklaces, and earrings. Each item is designed as a wearable or decorative narrative, deeply rooted in African heritage and reimagined through sustainable, contemporary design practices. The project creatively integrates symbols from traditional African life such as shield patterns, plant vines, and earth tones into functional, stylish objects. This project aims to bridge the rich heritage of African tradition with the demands of contemporary design by merging ancestral wisdom with sustainable, modern practices. By reclaiming discarded materials and breathing new life into them through upcycling, the project revives forgotten stories while promoting eco-conscious creativity. In doing so, it challenges fast fashion and mass production, offering instead a thoughtful alternative that honors beauty, identity, and responsibility.
