Bringing Afrocentric Fashion Mainstream

Mutayo Ekiye draws deep inspiration from her Nigerian heritage, creating handbags that are more than fashion—they’re storytelling pieces. Each design carries a name in Ekpeye or Igbo, reflecting the culture that shaped her.

The debut collection features four refined handbag styles—Ada, Adora, Oma, and the Oma Wallet—each available in three rich colorways. Designed with intention and crafted for timeless elegance, the collection reflects years of creative dedication.

Nigeria is one of the world’s leading suppliers of leather, yet this contribution is often overlooked. Mutayo Ekiye was founded to change that—to highlight the origin, honor the craft, and bring the richness of Nigerian-sourced materials to the forefront of luxury.

Each piece is a celebration of heritage, presented in velvet dust bags and sleek black boxes, designed to be as meaningful as they are beautiful.
