MY PERSONAL STORY

"Producing these bags has been an incredible journey of perfection in imperfection; an intriguing tale spun by the finest of weavers, it seems. This Alkebulan Collection, branded as my signature brand-- a "never been done before" concept of an African map bag -- has taken me more than 4years to design, envisioning how it could be infused in our modern fashion and style. The most amazing part of this concept is the journey; the struggle and strive with a selection of artisans in Africa to bring this concept to life, so that we can say 'Made in the United States Of Africa'. Today it is more than a dream, we have challenged against the odds, we have proven our creativity in Africa. I hope this bag brings about a revolution and evolution of an African unity, whether Black, White or Yellow African around the world through style and pride... I'm Just a dreamer, who just made a dream a reality in our dream to pursue bigger dreams. Let's live it. "~ Archyn Orijin (Founder of Orijin Culture)

The name Alkebu-lan means "mother of mankind" || The the name before it was called Africa.

I am not African because I was born in Africa, I am African because Africa is born in my character and style, what about you?

I really like my bag but didn’t realize it was so small (narrow). Other than that it’s great! I’ve received so many compliments on it as I took it out for a spin at the Jidenna concert in Anaheim, CA last weekend. I’ve included pictures from that night which include me with the shoes opening artist, Kelechi, as well as one with Jidenna himself :)

Dedra S.

Just beautiful!!!! I love this bag, I use it daily...... I want every color!!!

Stephen

Sad I always admire this bag but not everybody can afford it am a Nigerian and the cost of the bag to naira currency is very high i need the bag but the money is much for a student like me

Donna D.

I love my Bags! Excellent! I was headed to Africa and the bags arrived the day before I left. People everywhere commented on my bags and they hold all the stuff I won’t leave home without...iPad, phone, makeup etc. I have the tan bag and the black bag. I will be ordering the white one soon. Love it! Donna D

Nia Y.

Amazing! I've been dreaming of having one of these bags since I first saw them. It's so beautiful in person and I can't wait to wear it. Though I gave it 4 stars because my gold plate on it was rather dull and the bag itself had a dent in it. Though it seems like that may have happened in transit.

Beautiful I love the beautiful design of this bag. It’s very versatile, and that makes it even better. I will definitely be ordering the larger bag in brown!!

Samara B.

Quality I like my bag but I would've thought to receive higher quality paying so much for it.

Loved my bag I absolutely loved my bag, well made, beautifully packaged. I will definitely buy another color

Aziza B.

I LOVE my bag! The shipping was faster than expected. In addition customer service was very responsive and professional. I love my bag so much, I purchased two for myself and one for my cousin. The medium bag holds more than I expected and the versatility of the bag is one of the best features. I love being able to wear it as a backpack and over the shoulder bag. I receive so many compliments when I wear it. Like I said, I LOVE IT!

Met Expectations The website is easy to navigate and shopping was a breeze. I was pleasantly surprised with the notifications letting me know “when” my bag was shipped, estimated time of arrival and final delivery. My bag was packaged well (within a dust bag inside of a burlap bag) for storage when not in use. The leather is soft and the workmanship is beautiful. I will definitely purchase again.

Adrienne Z.

Me likey! My bag was shipped quickly and looks like the pictures. I like! I’ve ordered other products with equal satisfaction!

Patsy C.

Authenticity I adore this bag. I got the small then opted to get the larger one since it could barely fit anything. Unfortunately both are rather small. Guess I should have taken note of size, but I was just so anxious to own it. Love that it stands up on its own as well as the quality n presentation of the packaging.

LOVE this bag! I LOVE this bag. It's the perfect size to fit what I need to run around town. S/N: It's a conversation piece!

Jasmine R.

Beautiful Beautiful bag and fast shipping. Thank you so much

TERRENCE S.

My wife loved it! Purchased as birthday gift for my wife. Item arrived quickly and she loved it! Probably will purchase other colors in the future

Tia D.

Excellent I read the reviews and I was worried that the bag would be tiny because everyone said it held nothing, but it basically holds what a typical bag from Forever 21 would hold. I love it! I love how much of a statement piece it is. I love that when I tell ppl the price they don't want it because it'll forever be my own statement piece. I will not see this bag everyday, even though I should. I loved that it's a Black owned business, and even further a Ghanaian owned business. I love the explanation of the bag. Very good marketing.

Angie P.

Love it! I love my bag and I’ve also given your information to other people when I receive compliments. Actually a friend of mine purchased their bag today! I plan to purchase another one in tan color later. I want black businesses to thrive!!!!

Sharon W.

High quality!!! Beautiful! I love this bag! My husband loves this bag and wants one. Lol. I feel so amazing to display the motherland in this fashion. It's hip, it's gorgeous, it's amazing. The quality is rich and very well made. I will rock this with pride at the Black Panther premiere. Thank you!!

Size of bag Shipping was fast but the bag is a lot smaller than I anticipated I cant fit anything in the bag so im a little mad it was that expensive

Carolina W.

A Tribute to my Homeland, South Sudan! This bag represents a lot for me symbolically. I take pride in carrying my Homeland, my Motherland in this bag wherever I go. I also love it because it is a wonderful conversation starter about the wealth of African arts and a powerful fashion statement! Long live Orijin Boutique and long live beautiful Africa! Thank you, Carolina.

Shevonda R.

Great Choice Shipping was quick, purchased this bag for my mother and she absolutely adores it. I knew it when I saw it on Instagram that she would love it. Great leather, adjustable strap- definitely a head turner conversational piece.

Bernard C.

COMPLETELY SATISFIED I was well pleased with the overall experience. I bought the bag as a gift for my wife to be and she loved it!!!

Felicia M.

Love my "Africa Bag!!!" Such a unique bag! I get compliments everywhere I go! And it was shipped to me super fast!!!

Dunia A.

Africa Bag Wonderful well made stylish product. Fast delivery! Great creative company.

Taryn B.

Beautiful, soft, not an everyday bag This bag is gorgeous! It's a conversational piece and I've received many a compliment. My only two caveats are space and structure. There's a part that's a bit loose, but it's not obvious, so I'm not sure if it will get any worse. Also, I knew there wasn't going to be much space in the bag based on the reviews. So this is just remind others that there's not much space, and also, bc of the shape of the bag, be very strategic in how you place items inside it.

Dope Bag This bag is fresh - It definitely turn heads!

Hanifah Moorman

I love it!! I wish I love it!! I wish it had a little bit more space.

Alexis Johnson

Great Signature Piece Love the bag! I always get compliments when I wear it. It's a really beautiful made bag. It's fun to wear on weekends. It's not big enough for me but I like to have my whole life in my bag in case I need something so my usual day to day bf would be a lot larger.
