LarAllan debuts its summer handbag collection in celebration of vibrant femininity and timeless elegance.
Inspired by the diverse and dynamic spirit of women as well as the personal story of its founder, Lara Olutunbi, the One handbag line intersects the vibrancy of Nigerian colors and imagery with London sophistication.
This selection of handbags features clear acrylic clutch-style bags with removable double-chain straps for versatility when accessorizing. Likewise, for a boast of flair, LarAllan has mimicked the straps to color-match the images of Nigerian women depicted on the handbags to celebrate African culture. The look of the handbags is also reminiscent of evening bags from the 90s, embodying a timeless feel at first glance courtesy of the gold locks and range from classic black and red to tortoise-shell.
Additionally, to capture the voices of women through the narrative storytelling, each of the LarAllan handbags within the One collection, is named after women and includes; Molly, Babi, Ade, Kiki & Aiko, Christabel, Jamihal, Naserian, and Désirée.
