Urbanknit's photostream  

Urbanknit is run by me Dolapo. My aim is to create new and interesting accessories for those with a taste for something different.

Each hand-made piece is created to give the wearer the satisfaction of uniqueness and at the same time provide everyday accessories to complement various styles and reinforce the spirit of individuality.

My current collection consists of one-off bags and scarves that have all been lovingly made.

• SCARVES: These are hand knitted or crocheted and most are made out of 100% merino wool in a chunky textured style.

• BAGS: These are made out of African prints and batiks personally hand-picked mainly from Nigeria, West Africa. Each bag is unique in that no two can be the same due to the organic nature of the fabrics. These fabrics are sold in approximately 5 metre bundles therefore each bag is merely a piece of a larger picture or pattern. I try to contrast the vibrant and often colourful patterns with more recognisable fabrics like denim, leather, velvet, cotton and so on to produce one-off funky but functional accessories.

Feel free to get in touch. Looking forward to hearing from you!
