Nigerian-born knitwear designer Buki Akib has created a line of handbags inspired by Fela Kuti and his 27 wives.The WIVES collection has rich woven details, tassels, and eclectic patterns. The bags are named after some of his wives, and designed to compliment their personalities and capture their essence. (They must be the popular girls out of the wives crew.)
Buki uses traditional Yoruba hand weaving with cotton and leather of South Western Nigeria for her bags. A little expensive, but still totally affordable if you're really feeling the collection.
