Our values
Originality
Each OQENA piece tells a unique story: that of its origins, of the expert hands that shaped it, and of the culture that inspires it. We sublimate traditional craft techniques through a refined and modern design, creating objects that combine heritage and avant-garde.
Quality
Quality is the common thread of our approach. We meticulously select rare materials, transformed by craftsmen who have mastered their art to perfection. Every detail is meticulously thought out to guarantee timeless creations, capable of aging elegantly and lasting through the ages.
Exclusivity
In a world where everything moves fast, we reaffirm the importance of rarity. Our limited collections are designed for connoisseurs in search of unique and precious objects. OQENA is not a trend, but an art of living: that of choosing pieces that carry meaning and eternal beauty.
"OQENA is the fusion of two cultures and their coming together through the combination of design and raw materials."
Natural
Respect for nature is at the heart of our identity. Our raw materials, such as raffia, are sustainably sourced and processed with infinite care. Our plant-based dyes, obtained from roots, flowers and mushrooms, reflect our commitment to fashion in harmony with local ecosystems.
Authenticity
Authenticity is our signature. By working closely with several workshops, we pay tribute to ancestral know-how such as crochet and weaving. Each creation is the fruit of patient and precise work, a celebration of craftsmanship in all its splendor.
