Founded in 2017 by Daouda Mariama, Zamany Accessory is a leather goods brand born from a rich cultural heritage, rooted in Niger and influenced by the various countries where its founder grew up. This blend fuels her imagination and gives each Zamany piece a unique identity, combining authenticity with modernity.Holding a Master’s degree in Financial and Banking Engineering, the founder chose to pursue a career change and return to her home country with a clear objective: to showcase the potential of African leather craftsmanship and prove to the world that Africa is full of underappreciated resources and expertise.Zamany stands out through its use of noble, ancestral local materials — such as doum palm (Congou), millet stalk (Sourdjindi), rattan, leather, woven cloth, the Agadez cross, and many other elements that embody the country’s cultural richness. This approach also embraces economic, ecological, and social values. Each creation reflects a subtle balance between tradition and innovation, giving life to refined and contemporary pieces.The brand also carries a strong social mission: the empowerment of rural women. Before opening its two workshops, Zamany trained and integrated women into the production chain, providing them with a sustainable and regular source of income. In seven years, the company has generated a significant number of direct and indirect jobs, involving rural craftswomen, leatherworkers, shop staff, administrative personnel, and more.
