Form, durability and style captured in tradition``
The inspiration behind Setor Lord-Attivor
traces back to the late 1980s and early 1990s, when a cherished Ghanaian
tradition began to fade: the practice of serving food, particularly waakye,
wrapped in natural leaves.
As lifestyle habits shifted, a sudden rise
in health concerns linked to poorly handled leaves caused communities to
abandon the practice. Realizing that this beautiful piece of cultural heritage
was on the verge of dying out, the designer felt compelled to act.
As a self-taught leather craftsman, he spent years mastering the material through hands-on
experimentation. After extensive brainstorming to find a way to preserve this
legacy, a breakthrough of designing luxury leather bags emerged. Setor making process beautifully mimics the folding and wrapping process of the traditional
Ghanaian method of wrapping food in leaves.
Each piece is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted in London, capturing the spirit of tradition with a contemporary twist. From bags inspired by the Ghanaian practice of wrapping food in leaves, to hats that pay homage to the classic Fedora, our creations are timeless, effortless, and always conversation-worthy.
