尼日利亚工匠推崇“在尼日利亚制造”奢侈品以从皮革出口中获取价值。 Nigerian artisans push "Made in Nigeria" luxury goods to capture value from their leather exports.

尼日利亚皮革是尼日利亚遗产的一个关键部分,主要以原始或半成品的形式出口到欧洲和亚洲,在那里,皮革变成了奢侈品,标签是 " 意大利的马德 " 或 " 法国的马德 " ,尽管它原产于尼日利亚。 Nigerian leather, a key part of the nation’s heritage, is largely exported in raw or semi-finished form to Europe and Asia, where it’s transformed into luxury goods labeled “Made in Italy” or “Made in France,” despite originating in Nigeria. 虽然该国每年从皮革出口中赚取大约6亿美元,但大部分价值是在国外获得的。 While the country earns about $600 million annually from leather exports, most value is captured abroad. 作为回应,拉各斯的Isi Omiyi等尼日利亚设计师推出高价品牌,推广“尼日利亚马德”手工艺,制作高档袋、钱包和鞋子,展示当地艺术和经济潜力。 In response, Nigerian designers like Isi Omiyi in Lagos are launching premium brands to promote “Made in Nigeria” craftsmanship, creating high-end bags, wallets, and shoes to showcase local artistry and economic potential. 加强国内工业的努力包括拉各斯皮革博览会,政府支持的工厂,如Mushin的工厂,旨在提供10 000个就业机会,以及卡诺的现代制革厂,尽管由于外汇费用高昂,进入机会有限仍然是一个障碍。 Efforts to strengthen the domestic industry include the Lagos Leather Fair, government-backed factories like the one in Mushin aiming for 10,000 jobs, and modern tanneries in Kano, though limited access due to high foreign currency costs remains a barrier. 该运动不仅谋求经济利益,而且寻求文化自豪感,目的是确保尼日利亚受益于其在全球奢侈市场的资源和人才。 The movement seeks not only economic gain but also cultural pride, aiming to ensure Nigeria benefits from its own resources and talent in the global luxury market.
