Akitere, is the name given to the middle-sized African-inspired gourd bag collection.

Inspired by the Turkana milk gourd encountered on journeys through rural Kenya, the Akitere draws its form from an object shaped by culture, purpose and everyday life.

Akitere means To Look At
in the Turkana language an invitation to observe what the past can carry into the present.

Shaped by hand in leather, each Akitere is hand-stitched,
vegetable -tanned and finished with beadwork, an African-print cotton lining and adjustable brass details.

Often chosen as a gift from children to their mothers, the Akitere carries craftsmanship forward through an object made to be lived with.
