Africa’s leading media personality Toke Makinwa is sharing her rich taste in fashion and beauty with the world via a plethora of entrepreneurial adventures. From perfumes and accessories to tote bags, this soft-life connoisseur is set to put her girlies on to the “baby girl for life” game.
Check out her latest, launching on the 5th of June, Oríkì. Born of Toke’s roots in the remarkable Yoruba traditions of West Africa, Oríkì means To Chant or Poetry. It loosely translates to “Praise of the head” and is a cultural phenomenon amongst Yoruba speakers from the Western Part of Nigeria, West Africa.
Toke Makinwa’s Oríkì is a tribute to home. These colourful “tote” bags are celebrations of culture, a homage to the importance of the head, and a symbol of the beauty and strength that runs through our veins.
The Oríkì Tote Collection by Toke Makinwa is a beautiful blend of tradition and modern elegance in fashion. Each handbag in the collection is crafted with care, celebrating the richness of the Yoruba culture and the exceptional craftsmanship of its people through the years. This collection is a testament to timeless elegance, making it a must-have.
The blend of colours on the bags celebrates our excellent spirit, each detail carefully woven together is praiseworthy and delicately crafted to embody the deep essence of the names we take pride in.
