In the bustling heart of Sydney, Nova Scotia, a tale spanning continents, cultures, and crafts unfolds. RIMEKS BAGS & BRANDS Inc. is not just a brand; it's a story of passion, heritage, and the blending of worlds.
Born from the dreams of Rita Umoren, a Nigerian immigrant, the brand name - Rimeks is a tender homage to her family, melding the names of Rita and her beloved children. Rita's journey from Nigeria to Canada is one of courage, tenacity, and a burning desire to infuse the cultural richness of her homeland into the tapestry of her new home.
At the core of Rimeks lies the vibrant African wax prints or Dutch wax, known as Ankara fabric. Each piece of fabric tells a story, each pattern an echo of Africa's heartbeat. The brand's commitment to authenticity and quality shines through in its dedication to handcrafting. Every handbag, every accessory, is a labor of love—crafted by skilled hands, with meticulous attention to detail.
Rita Umoren, the visionary behind Rimeks, is joined by a cadre of talented designers from Cape Breton Island, such as Channing Lu, Victor Agara, and Motunrayo Olusola. Together, this formidable team brings a unique fusion of African and global aesthetics, all while ensuring that the traditions of hand-sewn craftsmanship are upheld.
Guided by the brand's motto, "JUST FLEX", Rimeks embodies flexibility, resilience, and the ability to adapt and meld the best of both worlds. It's a clarion call to embrace diversity, to flex one's style, and to wear one's heritage with pride.
