Urbanknit is a small independent label started by Dolapo James creating handmade fashion accessories for those with a taste for something a little different.

Bright African prints, batiks and woven fabrics sourced from local African markets are combined with modern materials like leather, satin, silks and velvets to produce handbags and purses that are fun, funky and wearable.

Luxurious and textured yarns are handknitted to make cowls and scarves that keep you warm but also make a bold statement.

Each Urbanknit piece is carefully and lovingly put together in limited runs. There is something for anyone looking for unique items that give that sense of individuality.
