AFL was born out of a desire to tackle the fish waste problem creatively and consciously. We transform fish skin — a byproduct of the seafood industry — into premium leather products, reducing waste and creating lasting value. Our tanning processes use eco-friendly methods, and every product we craft is a testament to circular economy principles. Sustainability isn’t an afterthought for us — it’s embedded in every thread, every design, and every impact we create. When you shop AFL, you choose innovation, preservation, and a healthier planet.
Our raw materials are sourced from local fish markets, giving waste a second life.
From fish skin to fine leather, we’re redefining what sustainability looks like in fashion.
Designed to stand out, built to last.
Our earrings, cuffs, and key holders blend tradition with bold aesthetics.
Fashion that speaks volumes without saying a word.
Every item supports our triple-bottom-line mission: People. Planet. Progress.
Ambani Fish Leather (AFL) was proud to take part in the Ocean Hub event a gathering of innovators, changemakers, and sustainability champions united by a shared commitment to protecting our oceans and promoting the blue economy.
Representing Northern Kenya and the communities around Lake Turkana, AFL showcased how fish leather – a byproduct of the fishing industry – can be transformed into high-quality, sustainable fashion. Through our participation, we highlighted:
At Ambani Fish Leather, we believe economic empowerment begins at the grassroots. That’s why we champion women — from fish processors to skilled artisans — by providing training, sustainable income opportunities, and leadership development. Many of the beautiful pieces you see on our shelves are handcrafted by women who’ve turned what was once waste into wearable art. By supporting AFL, you’re not just buying a product — you’re investing in the potential of women across Kenyan coastal communities. It’s beauty with purpose.
