Kenyan fashion designer Anna Trzebinski has received global recognition after her exquisite Laibon Coat was spotted on Queen Máxima during her recent four-day visit to Kenya.
The royal effortlessly donned the elegant, custom-made coat, a signature piece from Trzebinski’s collection, showcasing a fusion of African heritage and high-end fashion.
The stunning black coat, a signature piece from the designer, features a sleek, open-front silhouette that drapes gracefully to mid-calf or ankle length.
With long sleeves and a tailored collar, the coat exudes sophistication, but its defining element lies in the intricate beadwork, carefully handcrafted to celebrate African artistry.
A circular embellishment near the hem adds an extra touch of uniqueness, making it a truly standout creation.
Excited by the royal endorsement of her work, Trzebinski took to Instagram to express her joy.
She shared a post celebrating Queen Máxima’s choice to wear the coat, stating, “Yesterday, the King and Queen of the Netherlands touched down in Nairobi – wearing our Laibon Coat, a signature piece in our collection available to custom order.”
Her post quickly gained traction, with fashion enthusiasts and admirers flooding the comment section.
Many expressed their excitement and admiration for both the Queen’s fashion choice and Trzebinski’s craftsmanship.
Some shared that they owned the same coat and still cherished it, while others congratulated the designer, praising the beauty and uniqueness of her work.
The recognition from the Dutch royal family only reinforced the coat’s status as a symbol of refined African luxury.
With over two decades in the fashion industry, Anna Trzebinski has built a renowned artisanal luxury brand, crafting handmade, high-end designs that have reached global markets, including the United States.
Her creations range from exotic leather bags and beaded sandals to feather-trimmed shawls and elegant garments, all reflecting a deep appreciation for indigenous artistry.
Drawing inspiration from communities like the Maasai and Samburu, Trzebinski seamlessly blends traditional African elements with contemporary sophistication.
Queen Máxima’s choice to wear the Laibon Coat is more than just a fashion statement; it is a powerful celebration of Kenyan craftsmanship on a global stage.
