Aster creates products that capture the essence of minimalism. Each bag, accessory and product is carefully designed to combine elegance and functionality. The clean lines, understated colors and thoughtful details give Aster products a timeless appeal.
Behind this timeless beauty lies a deep commitment to sustainability. Aster sources its leather from sustainable livestock farms where animals are raised in the wild and used for meat production. This approach minimizes waste and respects the traditional ways of life of the rural Ethiopian population .
The leather raw material is processed in an ecologically oriented tannery in Addis Ababa. Environmentally friendly processes are used here, which do not expose the environment or the workers to toxic chemicals.
Aster's production is led by a dedicated Ethiopian woman who promotes social sustainability and creates local jobs. This social responsibility is reflected in every product Aster produces . Ethiopian leather is known for its quality, durability and strength. Combined with the minimalist design and high-quality workmanship, this makes Aster products timeless companions that outlast trends.
Aster's goal is not only to sell great products, but also to create added value for the producing country, Ethiopia. Sustainable investments are crucial in developing countries like Ethiopia to prevent exploitation and strengthen the local economy.
