AABOUX

Founded in 2017, by Zainab Aliyu (CEO & Creative Director), AABOUX is a stylish luxurious leather brand, that handcrafts limited-edition statement pieces using the finest and most exquisite leathers.

Our specialised stitch-less technique and composition, using fascinating combinations of globally and ethically sourced skins from across the globe has been perfected by our third-generation artisans in Lagos, Nigeria.

Every bag is a statement piece in it’s own right, and expresses one’s personal style and individuality.

Each piece designed feels like a child of mine, birthed with love and pride.
