When I saw these handbags I could not wait to share it with you. I need one on these in my closet . Here is the bio of the designer below and some fabulous pics of her Ankaranista line.
Fashion Lover, Stylist, Writer, Blogger and Fashion Publisher , Bola Obileye discovered the knack for design when she relocated to Nigeria in 2011 after living in the United Kingdom for over 17 years.
Bola Obileye presents her fashion line- TÓTÉmade of African Print. This line is the ankara leather hand bag collection which she called ‘The Ankaranista’. She gets her inspiration from:“God is my number one inspiration, he opens my eyes to the beauty of everything in life..from birds to people to shapes and colours..inspiration comes from all sources..but first from God!”
