urbanknit

For the third urban craft stars profile we have the lovely urbanknit aka dolapo james.

"Urbanknit is a design collective started by Dolapo James with the aim of providing fresh and interesting handmade fashion accessories that are unique and offer the wearer a sense of individuality.

From handbags and purses in bright African prints and batiks, to customisable scarves and tee-shirts, there is something for everyone with a taste for originality.

Dolapo says: ‘New designs, shapes and styles are added regularly and we are constantly exploring and experimenting with new ideas.
Each piece is carefully and lovingly put together by hand and one of our most important goals is ensuring that no two items are the same.’

I love the little touches she uses such as over sized buttons which makes each item both original and personal.
