Our Legacy. Our Why.

Close Look was born from love, memory, and the kind of strength you inherit from the women who came before you.

The Heart Behind Close Look

Close Look is more than a collection of handbags. It is a love letter to my mother, Ellen. A woman who carried beauty, resilience, and faith in everything she touched.

A week before she passed, she reminded me about these bags. Months earlier, when I was sick, she mentioned them again. Close Look is her dream, living through me.

Every stitch, every texture, every detail honors her, and the way she taught me to create something that lasts.

Essence of Liberia

Our Jehdeh Collection carries the essence of Liberia. Fabrics woven with memory, textures that tell stories, and craftsmanship that bridges Africa with the world.

From zigzag patterns that mirror the pulse of life, to cowhide textures that echo resilience, every piece reflects both heritage and forward movement.

Close Look is about carrying a piece of home — no matter where life takes you.

Building Generational Legacy

Legacy isn’t just about what we leave behind. It’s about what we carry forward.

Close Look stands as a reminder that fashion can be storytelling, heritage can be honored in luxury, and a handbag can hold more than belongings. It can hold memory, identity, and hope.

Our mission is to create with integrity, elevate African craftsmanship, and empower women across continents.

CloseLook is my mother’s voice, my Liberia, and my future.

Every bag carries her legacy — and now, yours.

Carry the story. Carry the legacy.
