TESTIMONIALS
Hun Kim – Creative director of Karl Lagerfeld

“We are honoured to work with EFI’s teams across Africa—from dedicated farmers to talented weavers and skilled artisans—to bring this tote bag to life while respecting meaningful local traditions.”

Leonardo Ferragamo - Chairman of Salvatore Ferragamo S.p.A.

“Our support for EFI’s project in Burkina Faso stems from a deep belief in empowering women, fostering their independence, and creating pathways to reduce poverty and gender inequality.”

Amber Valletta – Sustainability ambassador of Karl Lagerfeld

“This tote is more than a bag — it celebrates creativity, community, and thoughtful design. Collaborating on this project has been an energizing experience, highlighting our interconnectedness and the beauty of honouring traditional heritage alongside contemporary design.”
