Handcrafted in Ghana, AAKS creates handbags in styles that seek to conserve the provenance of weaving as an art form, accentuated with the bright exuberant colours of Africa.
This hand clutch is a chic show-stopping piece inspired by AAKS' first-ever collection. Handwoven from ecologically harvested raffia, it features a distinctive round base to give it sturdiness, flap closure, drawstring lining and a colourful tassel made from genuine leather. The ‘Ambi Olive’ will fit all your small handbag essentials and slot effortlessly into your year-round day-to-evening style.
All bags are handwoven with the finest organically sourced natural fibres and hand-dyed, making each one uniquely yours. Due to the distinctive characteristics of the fibre and dyes, the intensity of the colours may evolve with time and exposure to light. The dyes may transfer onto light colours.
AAKS was founded by Akosua Afriyie-Kumi to introduce the world to her favourite weaving techniques by the women of Ghana, increasing awareness around ethical production processes and encouraging sustainable consumption in the fashion world.
Each collection silhouette is unique and tells a different story through detail, colour and shape. The bags are woven exclusively with ecologically harvested raffia, lined with a linen or cotton fabric and finished with leather. It takes approximately ten days to complete a handbag.
Care Instructions: We recommend taking special care of your bag to avoid moisture and direct sunlight. Use a damp cloth to clean your bag and air dry in the shade.
