A Closer Look at the Creation
Chaque détail a son importance.
ESSONDO is an artist-designed bandana by Élisabeth Akaïa Kaï, a Franco-Gabonese designer fashion house. Its distinctive print transforms a square of cloth into a singular creation at the meeting point of textile art and contemporary elegance. Designed for those drawn to pieces with character, this printed scarf expresses individual style beyond passing trends.
Tied around the neck, worn in the hair or on the wrist, or wrapped around a bag handle, ESSONDO reveals the versatility of a refined accessory. Offered in different sizes, it is available in fabrics including natural silk satin, silk twill, Pima cotton and synthetic twill, allowing you to choose the texture and drape that suit you best.
Made to order with hemmed edges, ESSONDO reflects the Maison's slow-fashion approach: choosing creations with intention, valuing artistic expression and keeping meaningful pieces for longer. A premium bandana worn as a discreet signature, where Gabonese-inspired luxury, designer fashion and contemporary living meet.
Sizes & Fabrics
Chaque détail a son importance.
Essondo is available in four sizes: 46 × 46 cm, 57 × 57 cm, 74 × 74 cm and 100 × 100 cm. Select the size that suits the styling and knotting you have in mind.
Choose from four materials: Pima cotton lawn (100% cotton, 75 g/m²), pure silk satin (100% silk, 85 g/m²), silk twill (100% silk, 54 g/m²) or Élégance twill (100% polyester, 98 g/m²). Each offers its own texture and drape.
Your creation will be made in the precise size and fabric selected before adding it to your bag.
Production & Delivery
Chaque détail a son importance.
At Élisabeth Akaïa Kaï, most physical creations are produced to order after your purchase is confirmed. Where applicable, production generally takes 7–15 business days, depending on the piece and any personalisation.
Shipping time is additional. Delivery options and charges vary by destination and are confirmed at checkout. We offer international delivery.
Have a particular deadline? Contact the Maison before ordering so we can advise you.
Returns & Exchanges
Chaque détail a son importance.
For eligible purchases, you have 14 days after delivery to exercise your statutory right of withdrawal, subject to the applicable conditions in our refund policy.
Items genuinely made to individual specifications or personalised may qualify for legal exceptions. Producing a standard design after an order is placed does not automatically remove that right.
