The bold, sensuous & sophisticated designs of Nairobi-based designer Adèle Dejak. Skilled local Kenyan artisans handcraft her necklaces, Picture 95pendants, bracelets, earrings, rings & bags from a variety eco-friendly materials including horn, bone, ebony, recycled aluminum and brass. The handbags combine local leather with exotic indigenous materials such as bakuba & kitenge.

The brand was recently featured in L'Uomo Vogue Italia. Prices range from $35 to $450 & are available online starting June 4, 2012 at AdeleDejak.com.
