LOOKBOOK - Ariaba Lifestyle

Ariaba is a contemporary lifestyle brand that produces handmade jewelry and leather accessories. Created by sisters Linda and Caroline in the summer of 2010. 

Ariaba experiments with traditional adornment concepts and reinterprets this through a modern eye. Inspired by world culture and the individual tastes of the pair (which is fused by DNA and the shared passion for creating unique and stylish pieces) Arabia blends edge with elegance.

Ariaba works with precious metals, gemstones, czech beads, and exotic materials (like tusks, python ribs, stingray, carved bones, crocodile skin, ostrich skin, lizard skin, mohair, calf skin etc) 

all combined to create eclectic pieces that dare to stand out. Each piece is handcrafted and, therefore, each is one of a kind.  

As soon as you hold an Ariaba piece in your hands you connect with the earth, opening the way to new discoveries. 

All our pieces are created with love by the Ariaba team. Enjoy your journey. 

The new Ariaba Lifestyle Boutique is now open at Strands Salon, 32 Musa Yaradua street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
