Okapi Yemaja – Oryx
Named in honor of Yemaja, ‘The Mother of All’ in African mythology, the Yemaja is the protector of women. She is often depicted as a mermaid and is associated with the moon, water, and feminine mysteries. This limited edition version of the Yemaja is a collaboration with two of South Africa’s most prominent artists – famed knitwear designer MAXHOSA BY LADUMA and influential South African music artist RIKY RICK. The multi-functional strap allows this unisex piece to be worn around your waist, cross-body, on the shoulder or carried as a clutch with the strap removed. The closure of the bag is uniquely finished with a springbok horn which sits perfectly across the front of the bag.
