WOVEN IN AFRICA, MADE IN SPAIN.
AN ARTISANAL JOURNEY
Reinterpreting East African craftsmanship through a modern lens, we use traditional African techniques to create artisanal accessories that promote and preserve indigenous heritage.
ABOUT
OUR
APPROACH
EILAF is a LUXURY handbag and accessories brand, designed by Eilaf Osman, that combines high-quality craftsmanship, minimalist silhouettes, and East African techniques to bring thoughtful products to the world.
"My personal design ethos is to research and archive different craftsmanship techniques, especially basket-weaving craftsmanship, and preserve them through my designs. This allows me to create livelihood initiatives for different weaver communities across Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, the Niger and Chad. Ultimately, we are on a mission to present and highlight a contemporary approach to East African artisanal art." - Eilaf Osman.
