Named in honor of Nambi, The African Goddess of The Sky who left the sky to live with an earthly man name Kintu. Okapi's opulent feather clutch pays homage to the rich history of Oudtshoorn, the South African town from which the feathers are sourced. The once-thriving ostrich feather industry played a significant role in the transformation of the little village into the richest Ostrich Capital of the World, at a time in which ostrich feathers were more valuable than gold or diamonds. These days the positive social impact of ostrich farming remains as the original ostrich farming families of the Karoo are committed to empowering the local community and nurturing sustainable ostrich farming. This elegant Ostrich shin-detailed clutch adorned with ostrich feathers is the perfect companion to add a statement accent to any ensemble with the long strap allowing it to be worn both as a clutch and crossbody.



About Ostrich Shin
Okapi’s ostrich leather is sustainably and ethically sourced as a by-product of the existing free-range ostrich farming industry in South Africa. Through the close relationships which we have fostered with the farming communities in the Karoo region, we are able to give complete transparency and ensure that our natural materials are 100 % traceable, ethical and sustainably sourced. We work closely with our suppliers to ensure all processes are of the highest safety and quality, along with ethical production practices that respect both animal welfare and the environment. The uniqueness of our leathers is characterized by the deliberate inclusion of the natural markings that the animals incur in the wild. The natural markings that the animal incurs in the wild are included on the skins which are used. This gives each Okapi piece a more organic and changeable quality.
