Craft that speaks to the heart

01 — Origin

Story

Gigi Leather was born in 2021 from the hands of a mother with a dream — to create leather pieces that breathe elegance and timeless beauty. From a single workshop to mass production by 2022, our journey has been guided by passion, precision, and the belief that true craftsmanship lives forever.

Our philosophy is simple: every bag is more than leather — it is a story, a companion, a quiet expression of style. With every stitch, we honour tradition while shaping modern elegance.

From our first store at Addis Ababa International Airport, we set out to share Ethiopia's leather heritage with the world. Today we continue to craft pieces designed to grow more beautiful with every journey.
