About us

ZRASKA was born from a dream, a dream to empower women, celebrate craftsmanship, and create change through fashion.

Founded in Niamey, Niger, ZRASKA started as more than a brand. It began as a movement to give women, especially those without access to education, the opportunity to learn, earn, and live with dignity. Each bag is handcrafted by women who pour their strength, stories, and hopes into every stitch.

When you carry a ZRASKA bag, you carry a purpose. You become part of a story that uplifts women, strengthens communities, and keeps African creativity alive.

ZRASKA: crafted with heart, carried with purpose.
