Wend Konta in Cinnamon Leather Cuff Bracelet
Following in the footsteps of his forefathers, Ila Suleyman transforms leather into jewelry with a modern twist. He starts by recycling PVC tubes into a cuff bracelet and covers it with leather featuring subtle diagonal textures. A thin black line runs horizontally over the cinnamon brown bracelet, which Suleyman calls Wend Konta, meaning ‘God’s gift’ in the language of the Mamprusi people.

The bracelet has a unique design with a subtle texture that stands out. The black line adds a nice contrast to the cinnamon leather. It feels solid and the craftsmanship is evident. I wear it daily and it hasn’t lost its shape or color after a few weeks.

I appreciate the sustainable aspect of using recycled PVC. The leather is smooth and the diagonal pattern is subtle but noticeable. It’s a great addition to casual outfits. A bit heavy for everyday wear, but that’s part of its character.
