Kora — made by hand, for the woman whose hair already is.

You know how many hours an afro takes by hand. So does the one on Kora — cut and stitched into leather, one piece at a time.

Plain tan leather, one dark-brown afro, gold zips, maroon inside. Quiet and impossible to overlook — like the women who carry her. “I’ve been rocking it everyday and have gotten so many compliments.” — Camille, verified Afroyla review.

The Impossible To Overlook Set

On your back, the afro is at the height of your own, and everyone behind you sees it before they see your face. At the register the envelope wallet comes out with one gold Africa clasp. The duo wallet is the one your daughter takes and doesn’t give back.

    Kora brown backpack

    This is so cute and it holds a lot. The vegan leather is so soft and the maroon interior matches perfectly. Multiple pockets inside and a big outer pocket behind the Afro girl. Love this
