Njabot is the Wolof word for family. This collection began as a return — to the foundational form, to the original intention, to what the craft already knew. In 2021, Jasz returned to the roots of Tackussanu Senegal and stripped the work back to its essentials: Ndiorokh grass, white recycled plastic strips, and sable dark brown sheepskin leather. Nothing added that did not belong. Nothing borrowed from another aesthetic. With most collections at Tackussanu Senegal, the name comes last. It is a practice rooted in Senegalese naming tradition — where the name is given once the thing has arrived in full form, once it can be seen and held and understood.
This collection was first called Le Luxe. But once the four pieces stood together as a whole, it was clear the name had to change. Our Cultural and Historical Communicator christened it Njabot. Family. Four pieces. White grass. Sable dark brown leather. Hand-coiled coil by coil by Wolof women in Senegal. Each piece is finished with leather detail specific to its form — braided tassels, cut-out handles, a single gathered grip. The construction is the collection. Sold as a complete set.  Njabot. You are part of this now.
