Every Matilda bag is handcrafted by master artisans in Kampala, Uganda. We source the finest full-grain leather from ethical East African tanneries, ensuring each piece carries the soul of its origin. From cutting to stitching, every step is performed with precision passed down through generations.
Founded in 2018 by designer Amara Kiwanuka, Matilda Bags was born from a vision to place Ugandan craftsmanship on the global stage. Named after Amara's grandmother, the house blends timeless European elegance with the warmth and vibrancy of East African heritage.
We are committed to sustainable luxury. Our leather is a byproduct of the local food industry, our packaging is plastic-free, and we partner directly with artisan cooperatives to ensure fair wages. When you carry Matilda, you carry a story of integrity, beauty, and purpose.
