About the Founder
Shimane Radinne is the founder of VuthA African Bags, which specialize in providing a unique style of African handmade, quality, durable, and custom designed bags and clothing. Shimane fell in love with fashion at the age 19, when he discovered his talent of handcrafting bags without any pattern until he finished his matric in 2020. He struggled with finding a job, until he decided to continue with his talent of manufacturing bags to survive. Until he mastered his skills & talent of handcrafting bags, Shimane decided to be unique and different when making bags, so he decided to use only upcycled leather for his designs.
