👜 Anima Iris Zaza Grande Handbag
The Zaza Grande by Anima Iris is a sculptural statement piece handcrafted in Dakar, Senegal, blending bold design with artisanal precision. This luxury foldover purse features the brand’s iconic twisted top handle, a standout detail that adds architectural flair and ergonomic comfort. Made from 100% embossed leather, the Zaza Grande offers a structured silhouette with a magnetic snap closure, goldtone hardware, and a sleek interior slip pocket — ideal for everyday essentials like your phone, wallet, and water bottle.
Available in rich tones like Cersei blue croc, Delta red, and braided neutrals, each bag channels Afro-modern elegance with a global edge. Whether styled for brunch or boardroom, the Zaza Grande elevates any outfit with its contemporary craftsmanship, black-owned brand ethos, and fashion-forward functionality.
Founded in 2020 by visionary entrepreneur Wilglory Tanjong, Anima Iris is a luxury handbag brand born from heritage, resilience, and a bold reimagining of African fashion. Wilglory, a Cameroonian-American and Princeton graduate in African Development, launched the brand after traveling across the continent — from Nairobi to Dakar — immersing herself in the vibrant cultures and craftsmanship that would shape her creative vision.
Named after two influential women in her life — her mother Iris Tsamoh and childhood friend Sarah Yaa Anima Amoyaw — Anima Iris is a tribute to matriarchal strength and ancestral beauty. Each piece is handcrafted in Dakar, Senegal, using centuries-old techniques and a zero-waste production model that reflects the brand’s commitment to sustainability and ethical luxury.
What began as a passion project quickly gained global traction, with bold, geometric designs catching the eye of celebrities like Beyoncé, and appearing on platforms like HBO’s Insecure. Today, Anima Iris stands as a Black-owned, Afro-modern fashion house, redefining luxury through cultural authenticity, artisanal excellence, and unapologetic style.
