Minku is a leather goods line set up in early 2011. It is based on a design philosophy that seeks to balance the tension between a minimalist, less-is-more aesthetic and a desire to fill life with colour and patterns. So usually, a Minku piece would have leather on the exterior, and a vibrant fabric like aso-oke, damask, or jacquard, reflecting the designer’s West African origin, on the interior. This hidden explosion of colours and patterns on the interior often provides the wearer with a secret reason to smile.
Each item is fully handmade; you would also find quirky details like hand-made detachable leather pins, a hand-stitched logo… things to remind you that you’re special and that the piece you’re purchasing or wearing didn’t just pass through an impersonal automated process; it was made by someone, with love and care.
