For over six decades, Esther Olawoyin Taylor, a textile merchant with a peculiar taste for leather goods, bought and collected purses, bags and footwear. She would then gift the women in her life from her vast collection periodically.

One of these gifts quickly became her granddaughter’s favourite accessory, earning the granddaughter compliments wherever she went, and inspiring her to start a line of leather handbags that would cater to women who were looking for something practical, special and affordable.

She spent months researching and sourcing the best materials and working with skilled artisans to bring her vision to life.
