New York (TADIAS) – Taytu, the Ethiopian luxury accessories label, made its debut in New York at The Train Fashion Trade Show, which was held at Manhattan’s Terminal Stores from September 16 to September 18, 2007.
The high-end Taytu collection (highlighted by BBC earlier this year as an emerging luxury designer label from Ethiopia), built mainly on handbags but also shawls, jewelery, and shoes, is one of a handful of international brands to come out of the country in recent years.
The label’s first entire collection was snapped up by fashion retailers from around the world when it premiered at the prime accessories trade show in Paris, in September 2006.
The brand’s impressive European performance drew an international media attention: “The label inside the luxuriously soft black leather handbag reads Taytu: Made In Ethiopia”, wrote Victoria Averill, a BBC journalist. “But the embroidered print on the outside, the chunky bronze rings attached to the fashionably short straps and the oversized “it” bag status all scream designer chic.”
Here are images from Taytu’s Spring/Summer 2008 collections featured in New York.
