Akodu Bag 

The name Akodu comes from the word for “banana” in Ewe, a widely spoken dialect in West Africa. A subtle play on words that reflects the essence of this bag, whose silhouette is inspired by the broad banana leaves dancing in the tropical breeze.


Its vibrant green hue evokes the lush vegetation of African beaches, where banana leaves catch the sunlight and contrast beautifully with the vastness of the sky and ocean. Akodu was born from a memory — a walk along the coast of Lomé, in Togo, my homeland. A vivid landscape where nature and sea meet in soothing harmony.


A Unique Bag, Rooted in Upcycling

The Akodu Bag is a one-of-a-kind piece, made from reclaimed green corduroy, giving new life to a fabric that might have been forgotten. Each piece is handmade, ensuring artisanal quality and meaningful uniqueness.
