Our Story

Orna founded Orna’s Leather Art to create well-designed, oversized bags for individuals who are living life to the fullest and need a beautiful, practical way to carry all that goes with their busy lives. As an Israeli architect, Orna brought her expertise in building design into her leather creations – crafting durable, functional bags that are also works of art.

Ethical Craftsmanship in Ethiopia

Driven by her values of sustainability and women’s empowerment, Orna searched for a place that aligned with her vision and found the Elico Factory in Ethiopia – a land she instantly fell in love with. The company honors Ethiopian traditions and craftsmanship, producing handmade leather goods with a passion for natural materials and authentic design.

Purpose & Sustainability

Manufactured at the Elico Factory, Orna’s Leather Art provides fair employment for women striving for financial independence. For both brands, sustainability means respect for people and planet – maintaining ecological balance and preserving resources for future generations. Each piece embodies style, quality, and meaning – a statement for Ethiopia, women, and the planet.
