About

 

Minku is a Nigerian brand founded by Kunmi, of whose name Minku is an anagram.

Started in 2011, Minku specializes in leather handbags, ready-to-wear, and other fashion accessories. Several incorporate aso-oke, a local ceremonial fabric.

Since its founding, Kunmi has made each item herself, leading to the 'Nigerian made' tagline on each label. Tailors in Lagos, Nigeria sew the seasonal men's shirts from local aso-oke fabric.

Eschewing the use of patterns means the bags and clothing are made freehand, lending them the vibrancy and originality that have become Minku trademarks.

Leather and fabric processing techniques developed in-house result in minimal waste, keeping sustainability and modernity as foremost principles at Minku.
