Nilhane is an eloquent name common among women in parts of West Africa — such as Senegal — spelled “Gnilane”. The brand embodies the cultures of the illustrious Sahel region and the spirit of femininity, through the design and crafting of elegant, high-quality statement leather handbags.
Our products are designed in Mali, using direct inspiration from cultural edifices and fashion pieces such as jewelry and fabrics, and handcrafted in Spain using sumptuous, sustainable leather and precision craftsmanship.
So what’s in a name? Our aim when creating Nilhane was to set a new standard of handbags designed in the Sahel, proudly highlighting the rich cultural heritage of the region, while putting women at the forefront and recognizing their irreplaceable place in society. Indeed, when you wear a Nilhane handbag, you carry with you a piece of West African heritage and salute and honor women in all of their splendor, strength, vulnerability and grace.
