1975 Envelope Bag
The Story Behind the 1975 Elevlope Bag
The 1975 Elevlope Bag is more than a bag—it is the continuation of a legacy, a piece of art born from dedication, creativity, and the story of my family. From a young age, I watched my mother, Timi, sell accessories on the streets of Warri, Delta State, Nigeria. Her work was more than commerce; it was resilience, ingenuity, and care folded into every piece she touched. Her spirit inspired me to honor her legacy in my own way, transforming her lessons into a world of design, creativity, and meaning.
I am Cru Alexander Timi, the founder of Diamotims, and the Elevlope Bag has been in my mind for years—a vision of heritage, artistry, and modern luxury. To bring it to life, I immersed myself in every step of the creative process. I spent hours on YouTube learning how to design bags, experimenting endlessly, producing sample after sample until the form, structure, and essence of the bag felt perfect. This same drive has fueled every part of my artistic journey—from DJing, filmmaking, and music production, to photography and visual storytelling. Every project has been a pursuit of excellence and authenticity, and the Elevlope Bag is no different.
I personally photographed every bag to ensure that what our customers see is quality over quantity. I carefully edited each image, curated every angle, and made sure the presentation reflects the precision, artistry, and care poured into every detail. This is the same ethos I bring to my films, music, and creative work: hands-on, intentional, and deeply personal.
The 1975 Elevlope Bag is named after the letters my mother sent me while working in the village—a symbol of connection, care, and enduring love. It is crafted from genuine, premium-grade leather, carefully selected for its natural grain, durability, and ability to develop a rich patina over time. Each bag is expertly structured, preserving its elegant form while remaining practical, versatile, and timeless.
Diamotims is a reflection of who I am and what I stand for. My journey spans music, film, photography, design, and storytelling, and each part of my experience informs how we create at Diamotims. Every collection, every accessory, every bag is infused with a personal touch, a commitment to craftsmanship, and a deep respect for heritage. Sustainability, quality, and intention guide everything we do—we prioritize lasting pieces over mass production, mindful sourcing over convenience, and a narrative that connects our story with yours.
The Elevlope Bag is not just a product—it is a legacy, a piece of art, and a statement. It embodies love, resilience, creativity, and the pursuit of excellence in everything I do. By owning a Diamotims bag, you are not just carrying a luxury accessory—you are carrying history, meaning, and a story that has been years in the making.
Diamotims is more than a brand. It is a continuation of my mother’s legacy, an expression of my artistry, and an invitation to be part of a story that is both personal and timeless.
