The brand takes its name from Tanjong’s mother, Iris Tsamoh, and her childhood friend, Sarah Yaa Anima Amoyaw, reflecting the personal stories that inspire its identity. Drawing from Ghanaian kente geometry and Cameroonian Bamileke textile patterns, each handbag celebrates African artistry through thoughtful design and cultural storytelling. Every piece is handcrafted by skilled artisans in Dakar, Senegal, using premium materials and traditional craftsmanship.
