The Sisi Eko
In Yoruba, Sisi signifies a woman in her prime, while Eko means Lagos. Together, Sisi Eko captures the Lagos babe — the woman who moves through the city with confidence, presence, and style.
Inspired by the founder's maternal grandmother, a celebrated socialite, the Sisi Eko pays tribute to the iconic shoe-and-bag culture of Lagos owambe celebrations. A true Sisi Eko of her time, she remains one of the brand's central muses, and this design honours her enduring influence. Rooted in the founder's Nigerian and Egyptian heritage, the Sisi Eko draws from the grandeur of ancient pyramids and the vibrant energy of Lagos owambe culture — rendered in striking form and meticulous detailing.
The original silhouette in the Sisi Eko collection, it features Ankhara's signature circular interwoven top handle and a structured yet versatile shape. Elegant enough for brunch or a day at the office, yet spacious enough to carry your everyday essentials—including your phone, wallet, cards, powder, lip gloss, and more—the Sisi Eko is a true all-rounder.
