Founded in 2018 by Dorcas Kadiri, Afrique KOD is a Nigerian accessories brand that seamlessly blends Africa’s rich cultural heritage with modern fashion. Kadiri, inspired by her deep connection to the continent’s artistic legacy and its diverse traditions, set out to create a brand that would showcase the beauty and intricacy of African beadwork. Drawing from her personal experiences and love for African culture, Kadiri launched Afrique KOD with a mission to honor the artistry of African craftsmanship while catering to the style-conscious, modern consumer.
At the heart of Afrique KOD are its handmade beaded bags, which are more than just accessories — they are works of art that tell a story of tradition and culture. Kadiri collaborates with skilled artisans across Africa, each of whom brings generations of expertise and mastery to the craft. From the vibrant patterns inspired by West African textiles to the colorful beadwork reminiscent of East African artistry, every bag is an homage to the diverse influences of the African continent.
What sets Afrique KOD apart is its commitment to sustainability and ethical practices. Kadiri works closely with local communities, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions for artisans, many of whom are women breaking through traditional gender roles. The brand prioritizes eco-friendly materials and production methods, minimizing its environmental impact while supporting conservation efforts across Africa. Each bag is crafted using responsibly sourced materials, aligning luxury and sustainability in a way that resonates with today’s conscious consumers.
