Featured Collaborations
duma tote bag
BB x Poliarte
The Duma Bag was created through a cross-cultural collaboration between Blueberry Leather, the Poliarte Academy of Design in Ancona, Italy, and the E4Impact Accelerator Program.
Bringing together Italian design students and Kenyan artisans, the project combined contemporary design with the precision, heritage, and craftsmanship of Kenyan leather manufacturing.
Handcrafted in Kenya using locally sourced genuine leather, the Duma Bag embodies the fusion of international creativity and authentic African craftsmanship.

BB x Coster Ojwang
A collaboration where handcrafted leather met original artistic expression.
The Opportunity
Blueberry Leather partnered with Kenyan artist Coster Ojwang to explore the intersection of craftsmanship and art. The goal was to create a collection that celebrated individuality, transforming everyday bags into one-of-a-kind pieces through original hand-painted artwork.
Our Contribution
We handcrafted a limited series of canvas and leather bags that served as the foundation for Coster Ojwang's artwork.
Combining our expertise in leather craftsmanship with his creative vision, each bag was individually painted by hand, ensuring that no two pieces were ever the same.
The collaboration merged functional design with artistic storytelling, resulting in products that were as expressive as they were practical.
The Outcome
The collaboration produced a unique collection of handcrafted bags that showcased the possibilities of creative partnerships across disciplines.
More than a limited edition release, the project demonstrated how art and craftsmanship can come together to create products that carry both purpose and personal expression, with every bag telling its own story.
