Where Ruby Begins

Behind every Ruby pop-up and collection is a journey of preparation, teamwork, and dedication. Here in Addis Ababa, Ruby comes to life as we set up and prepare to share our creations with the world.

THE STORY

Meet the Founder

Ruby Leather & Accessories was born from a simple idea: products can tell stories.I did not start this business simply to manufacture bags. I started it to share the beauty, history, and spirit of Ethiopia with the world. Every design is inspired by the people, places, traditions, and iconic symbols that make Ethiopia unique.Through embossed artwork and carefully crafted details, each piece becomes more than a leather product it becomes a conversation, a memory, and a story. Whether it features a historic landmark, a cultural symbol, or a meaningful image, every design carries a message and a connection to Ethiopia’s rich heritage. Our customers are not just purchasing a bag; they are carrying a story. Each piece can express a different meaning through the image or symbol it holds, allowing every person to choose a design that speaks to them personally.We believe in the power of visual storytelling. By combining craftsmanship with meaningful design, we create timeless leather pieces that celebrate culture, inspire curiosity, and connect people through shared stories.Thank you for being part of our journey and for helping us share Ethiopia’s story with the world one handcrafted piece at a time.- Beza Adugna, Founder of Ruby Leather & Accessories
