Ovbieoba: A Celebration of Edo Royalty and Heritage

In the heart of Benin City, Nigeria, the Edo people's rich cultural heritage comes alive. For centuries, they've been revered for their mastery of art, craft, and tradition. Intricate bronze castings showcase their exceptional craftsmanship.
The term "Ovbieoba" - meaning "child of the king" in the Benin language - reminds us that royalty lives within us all. This philosophy inspired our Ovbieoba editorial and capsule collection, a celebration of Edo culture's timeless elegance and sophistication.
From the ancient Kingdom of Benin to modern-day Benin City, the Edo people's legacy is built on art, craft, and tradition. Our Ovbieoba collection reflects this heritage, with pieces that embody African luxury and style. The Benin bronzes, a testament to their artistry, are renowned globally, celebrated in museums and collections worldwide.
.
Through our editorial, we pay homage to the Edo culture's beauty and elegance. Collaborating with talented creatives, we crafted a visual narrative that showcases the richness of African heritage.

The Ovbieoba collection in collaboration with Otenmwen Collective is now available to shop on our website.
Join us on this journey of self-discovery and cultural celebration, and discover the beauty of African royalty within yourself.
