DESCRIPTION
THE GOLD PLATED BRASS ENGRAVED NAME: Is intentionally engraved by hand so that every name is personal to the wearer.
THE BLACK VOLCANIC LAVA BEADS: The black lava beads represents the rock of our heritage; the cuts in each bead is only a reminder of how far and wide we have come in history and how far we still need to go together as one African family – Africans, African-American, Caribbean, Afro Latino, Afro-Asian, Afro-European, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-mixed race etc – overcoming these canon balls of life.
I see the dream,
I see how we are fusing our music and dancing daily.
I see the love for our culture building again.
I see the love birds of different cultural backgrounds twirling.
I see the future of our children.
I see that African Dream;
The dream of returning back to our home Africa, and if that dream never comes in our life time, let our story be told that we lived the dream of a "Black Star" and a "One Africa" movement.
Add essential oils if you desire for your personal experience.

INSPIRATION:
Inspired by the Akan names hidden in the days of the week, Orijin's IDENTITY Beads Is designed to reconnect us all to our true African names. "We are not Africans because we were born in Africa, we are Africans because Africa was born in us"-- After being separated many miles and many generations apart, I personally find it amazing the cleverness of our ancestors burying our true African names in the days of the week to maintain our identity, heritage and pride.Today I am proud to say I know my true African name, what about you, who are you?
PHILOSOPHY:
"The future of a 'United Africans' begins with your Name. It's not just a bracelet, It's an Identity. It's your Orijinal Name. Wear it with pride knowing."

The Africa Bag was never just an idea. It began as a vision.
A dream of a woman walking with Africa on her back—carrying it not as weight, but as presence.That vision became a four-year journey. A pursuit to create something that had never been done before.
Today, it lives as our signature—an Africa-shaped piece recognized around the world, paving the way for all our rich cultural collections.
What began as a dream now breathes statements.
The Journey
Named by ESSENCE MAGAZINE Essence Magazine as “the Black-owned label reshaping the luxury bag,” this path has been one of discipline, sacrifice, and belief.
A journey of turning impossibilities into form.
Of finding beauty in imperfection.
Of creating with purpose—even through personal trials.
What we build is not just fashion. It is a quiet shift in how Africa is seen, worn, and understood.
Philosophy
“I am not African because I was born in Africa. I am African because Africa is born in me—and in my style.”
