Elongo

Category: Accessories

In the long history of human civilization, leather was never just a material choice it was a part of nature that humans relied on to survive. For the Maasai people, the Elongo (Shield) is not just a tool for hunting, but a symbol of their spirit. By creating this bag, I want to return to the very beginning of how leather was used. It is a reminder of the ancient value of leather: a material that connected our ancestors to the earth, and one that still holds a vital place in our modern lives.
