An architect by profession, Dolapo James is no stranger to the world of designs. It started with her obsession of Ankara and other African fabric. Though, it was never a conscious decision to start a company, James is the proud owner of Urbanknit, a company she started over 6 years ago and specialises in handmade bags, scarves and accessories, using African fabrics. “For ages I have been obsessed with Ankara and the crazy variety we have in Nigeria. Ankara is so chic and the variety is unbelievable. It’s so different and unusual and I just thought, why not introduce it and try to create a fusion, where it’s not just about it being an African fabric but to be able to use it in everyday life also,” she says.
