About

Minku, founded in 2011, specializes in clothing and leather goods for men and women.

Aso-oke, a fabric woven on hand looms in south-western Nigeria, plays protagonist in several of the items, whether re-imagined as a men's hoodie, or combined with Italian and Spanish leathers to create the brand's accessories. About 80% of these fabrics have been recycled from their former use as ceremonial dress.

The Minku philosophy encompasses a love of natural materials and a desire to delight through design.
