Limited Edition Rattan Capsule - Lqp Blue Blesbok

Title

Handbags

Named in honor of Nambi, The African Goddess of The Sky who left the sky to live with an earthly man name Kintu. Okapi's opulent feather clutch pays homage to the rich history of Oudtshoorn, the South Africa town from which the feathers are sourced. The once thriving ostrich feather industry played a significant role in the transformation of the little village into the richest Ostrich Capital of the World, at a time in which ostrich feathers were more valuable than gold or diamonds. These days the positive social impact of ostrich farming remains as the original ostrich farming families of the Karoo are committed to empowering the local community and nurturing sustainable ostrich farming. This elegant Ostrich shin detailed clutch adorned with ostrich feathers is the perfect companion to add a statement accent to any ensemble with the long strap allowing it to be worn both as a clutch and crossbody.
