KOVA is derived from the Oshiwambo word ‘onkova’ meaning leather. Kova was finally birthed in 2017 by Petrina Auino-Mwandingi, although the idea came about several years before that (thank you procrastination!). Kova designs and bags were inspired by our love for the simple things in life. We love a mix of minimalistic and clean, quality and accessibility and most of all we love the organic and unique nature of leather!
