We, (Ashenafi Kassahun Leather Work (AKLW)) craft more than just leather goods—we create timeless stories of resilience, purpose, and excellence. Founded by Ashenafi Kassahun in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, our name reflects a journey of triumph and giving back. "Ashenafi" means "winner" in Amharic, and "Kassahun" signifies paying it forward—a ethos born from the founder’s personal rise from orphanhood to leadership, fueled by faith and determination. Today, AKLW stands as a beacon of quality and social good in Ethiopia’s leather industry.
We specialize in handcrafted leather products that blend innovation with tradition. Our offerings include lightweight sheepskin wallets, customizable notebooks, stylish AK-Tote bags for women, leather aprons, poufs, ottomans, and more—each designed to meet unmet needs for durability, style, and individuality. Unlike mass-produced goods, our products, like our 50% lighter wallets and bespoke furniture, showcase superior craftsmanship and personalization, appealing to urban professionals, tourists, and ethical buyers alike.
Our services extend beyond creation. From our workshop-showroom in Addis Ababa, we invite customers to witness the artistry firsthand, fostering trust and connection. We distribute through an in-house shop, a dynamic e-commerce platform (www.aklw.et), and upscale retail partnerships, ensuring global reach. Committed to ethical production, we pay fair wages—far above industry norms—offer benefits like daily meals, and source sustainably, aligning with our Quadruple Bottom Line: social justice, environmental care, economic strength, and purpose.
AKLW isn’t just a business—it’s a movement to empower artisans, delight customers, and honor heritage, one timeless piece at a time.
