PIERRE HARDEY & LIYA KEBEDE'S LEMLEM ELBIDROP

Elbi has teamed up with Liya Kebede’s lemlem to offer this special piece which is part of a limited edition capsule collection from two iconic brands - Pierre Hardy and lemlem 🙌.

The collaboration between the two designer friends weaves signature elements from both labels and transforms them into something entirely anew and distinctly eye-catching in its burst of yellow 💛.

The Liya Fringe Clutch is adorned with classic lemlem stripes in a cotton fabric that is hand-woven by artisans in Ethiopia 🇪🇹, and combined with Pierre Hardy’s classic sensibility of form and artisanal flair.

The bag features suede trim and fringe, interior leather lining and a top zip 🔥.

Length: 30”

Height: 8”

PIERRE HARDY x LEMLEM, THE BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP

Between Liya Kebede and Pierre Hardy, there is a long term complicity. Their collaboration was obvious : natural, sincere, instinctive.

For this micro-collection, Pierre Hardy and Liya Kebede have created a pair of sandals, a pair of Slider sneakers, a bag and a pouch, all available in the same woven fabric by Lemlem, the ethical brand Liya founded ten years ago.

LEMLEM, A STORY OF AUTHENTICITY

The hand crafted materials used in this collection come from Ethiopia, Liya’s native homeland. They are conceived within the tradition of local craftsman :

Created in 2007 by Liya Kebede, Lemlem is the leader fashion brand made in Africa, with its collections for men, women and children. Imprinted by a human and ethical philosophy, Lemlem was created for elevating artisanship and expanding production and job

The Lemlem creations are marked with history and authenticity. They are like Liya : natural, vibrant, modern.

By employing traditional weavers, we're trying to break their cycle of poverty, at the same time preserving the art of weaving while creating modern, casual, comfortable stuff that we really want to wear"- Liya Kebede
