Ǹkàtà Phone Pocket Bag

Ǹkàtà Phone Pocket Bag – A Vessel of Story and Strength

Inspired by the Igbo word “Ǹkàtà”—a bowl-shaped container woven to carry, sieve, or store—this pocket bag reinterprets a traditional form into a sleek, modern accessory. In Udiri’s hands, Ǹkàtà becomes a vessel not just of belongings, but of memory, meaning, and intention.

At its core lies a first-of-its-kind handmade button, intricately rolled from upcycled paper by refugee and IDP women. Each button is a quiet revolution—a mark of transformation and dignity in craftsmanship. It is both closure and conversation.

The adjustable Danish paper cord strap offers a lightweight, water-resistant finish, while a padded insert safeguards your essentials. The silhouette is clean and intimate, made for everyday carry but rich with symbolic depth.

Limited-edition versions feature Udiri’s signature footprint motif—our mark of grounded elegance and enduring presence—connecting each piece to our broader story of sustainability and cultural renewal.
