Marté Egele
Marté Egele also known as Marte Egele Creations LLC is an internationally registered Nigerian handmade leather accessories brand based in Lagos State, Nigeria. It was founded by Dutch born Nigerian designer Uche Egele in 2015.

History
Marté Egele is a burgeoning Nigerian leather goods and accessory designer brand with a striking grasp of what’s now and on-trend. The concept of the Marté Egele brand started in 2012 and came to reality in 2015. Its foundation is on the basis of family, genuine friendships and individuality, so the pieces, mostly named after family and close friends, are produced in limited quantity in order to ensure that customers have something distinct that represents them and in addition to prevent overproduction.

Marté Egele is uniquely named after our Founder and Creative Director, Uchechi Martha Egele, a lover of life, travel, design, art and culture.

This creative journey began when founder, Uche Egele, under the watchful eyes of her artistic mother, actively engaged in sewing clothes for her dolls at the age of 3. Fast forward several years down the road, this same drive was the propelling factor that led to the conception of fun, bold and unique pieces for the Marté Egele line of leather accessories and silk twill scarves.

The young Nigerian, who studied Fashion Design (Womenswear) at The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM), Los Angeles, CA, and Marketing and Sales at the University of Houston (UH), Texas, in the United States, knows she is in a niche area of fashion where standards have been set by global brands like Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Gucci, Chanel, Rolex, Cartier, Burberry, Prada; and so has set her standards high.

When Beyoncé was spotted holding onto her blush pink Marte Egele leather handbag a few years ago, it was not just a victory for Nigerian craftsmanship but also evidence that Creative Director Uche Egele was a global player. It’s not hard to see why her leather confections have been so appealing: made primarily by hand, her unique designs are a result of the meticulous  craftsmanship of the African artisans, she works with.Her signature handbags have an authentic, artistic look and feel, with the silhouettes boasting geometric patterns, focusing on functionality without compromising style.

Remember the saying that less is more, Marte Egele has just turned that around into “less is most”. This indigenous Nigerian leather bag company is breaking grounds and saving life’s, one bag at a time.

We are very conscious of the place of Africa in the global environment so the promotion of African craftsmanship and perception of African products are also at the centre of ensuring our longevity and sustainability.

As seen on Beyonce, Chimamanda Adichie and many others like Yemi Alade and Seyi Shay.
