It’s rare for a Nigerian designer to make a splash in Hollywood, but Onna Ehrlich is no typical designer. Her handbags have been spotted on the arms of Lindsay Lohan, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Eva Longoria, and many more stylish stars. The brand’s latest line takes its inspiration from the strong women of her African nation.
“We take classic shapes and seasonal trends, along with my Nigerian heritage, and try to create timeless pieces,” Onna Ehrlich explained to Bella Naija. “For instance, the Jeannine bag [pictured] has a ruching, which is special to the Onna Erhlich brand because it was influenced by my Nigerian mother’s head wrap.“
The Onna Erlich bags are crafted from a combination of high quality Italian leather and hardware and Nigerian textiles. The combination of traditional European materials and African fabrics helps make the Onna Erlich purses unique.
The new season Onna Erlich handbags are available through the brand’s online store and in major retailers including Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom.
