As you know, we are always on the look out for new designers and handbags with that extra special something. When we stumbled across Zashadu, an inspiring luxury leather handbag collection by talented designer Zainab Ashadu, we just knew these bags would be a success. Made in Nigeria, Africa, Zasahadu handbags are made from locally sourced exotic skins, colourful leathers, rough cut precious stones and are all hand-crafted.
Before dedicating all her time to develop Zashadu, Zainab was Director at African Artists’ Foundation, so has a strong sense of business as well as fashion. Zainab actually began her career as an actress in London then moved into Architecture where she explored the spatial relationship between geometry and fluidity. Her passion for handbags started at the age of eight when she fell in love with a clutch bag belonging to her mother. She has since honed her craft at the London College of Fashion.
There are so many incredible handbags in the collection that we struggled to pick out our favourites but browse through these and let us know what you think (@BagServant #newdesigners):
