The Crown Within Collection

A crown isn’t just an accessory, it represents royalty, authority, strength, and triumph. Yet the truest crown lies within, hidden away from the world’s prying eyes. It is an unshakable sense of pride, purpose, and identity, celebrating African heritage and resilience – a reminder of all the unseen qualities that define and empower individuals.

AABOUX’s “The Crown Within” collection celebrates the inner regality of every individual, drawing inspiration from African royalty and the power of personal legacy. It reimagines the essence of African royalty through bold designs and colours that honor tradition while embracing innovation.

Each piece in this collection, with striking leather choices and colour palette, is a reminder that greatness comes from within! And AABOUX calls on you to discover the elegance, heritage and power of the Crown you carry within! 

Colour Palette

The striking leather choices and colour palette for “The Crown Within” collection weaves a narrative of empowerment, blending boldness with elegance to reflect the multifaceted nature of the modern African identity. 

It invites each individual to embrace their heritage, recognize their inner crown, and step forward with purpose, embodying the timeless legacy of their ancestors.

Black, (on a stingray print effect suede) with its depth and richness, symbolizes strength, sophistication, and the enduring legacy of African heritage. 

Red (stingray print) evokes passion, courage, and the fiery determination of trailblazers like Queen Amina of Zaria. 

Gold and Silver (metallic leathers) reflect regality and triumph, our unique brilliance and unyielding spirit in the face of adversity. 

The Crackled Black-and-Gold leather design embodies resilience and beauty born from imperfection, echoing the stories of survival, growth, and triumph that shape our history.

Animal print brings the raw power of nature into the collection, symbolizing freedom, strength, and individuality. 

Off-white introduces purity and renewal, reminding us of the limitless possibilities of the future.

The Blue (textured and metallic, with tweed effect printed leather) exudes confidence, stability, and calm strength. 

Fabric Choice

At its heart is a striking black-and-white abstract batik-like fabric, reminiscent of traditional African textiles like adire. Used in the inner lining of each bag, this fabric—though unseen—represents the hidden strength and depth within every individual. 

The black-and-white acts as a reminder and represents balance and duality, symbolizing the harmony between opposites such as past and future, light and dark, or struggle and triumph of African history. 

The organic root-like lines suggest a cultural rootedness that should be remembered and cherished. At the same time, the geometric sections represent paths, journeys, or the interconnected stories of African people, celebrating the dynamic and multifaceted nature of African identity.
