At O’Eclat Designs, the materials we use reflect our commitment to sustainability, heritage preservation, and exceptional craftsmanship. Each element is carefully selected to create timeless handbags and accessories that celebrate African artistry while ensuring global appeal.
Raffia
Raffia is a versatile, natural material that embodies the essence of sustainable luxury. Carefully sourced and expertly woven, it is used to add unique textures and vibrant details to our designs, offering a perfect balance of functionality and elegance.
Leather
Our leather is locally sourced from traders who work with reputable European factories, ensuring premium quality. For exclusive collections, we partner with local tanneries and farms in Nigeria to source exotic leathers, supporting the domestic leather industry and contributing to its growth
Metal
We intentionally keep the use of metal accessories minimal, emphasizing the raw beauty of our indigenous fabrics and leather. When needed, our metal accents are sourced locally and internationally to ensure quality and durability without overshadowing the natural elements of our designs.
Aso Oke (Hand-Loomed Fabric)
Preserving tradition is at the heart of our brand. We collaborate closely with artisans in southwestern Nigeria to produce vibrant batik and hand-loomed Aso Oke fabrics. These indigenous textiles showcase the depth of our culture and serve as a foundation for our handbags, celebrating heritage craftsmanship and ensuring that these age-old techniques are appreciated globally.
Every material we use tells a story—of tradition, sustainability, and the artisans who craft them. Together, they form the backbone of our unique designs, loved by customers worldwide.
