Young Levels
More Info
We are young entrepreneurs, willing to deliver high levels of quality. We are creative minds that stand for playful professionalism. We believe that independence drives personal and professional growth.
Our mission is to empower young and ambitious people through means of design. We aim to provide those who are ready to take big steps in life, got the perfect shoes to do so.
It all started with Dieter, who spend his young life working hard to pile up his savings in order to achieve his dream and become an entrepreneur. One of the reasons for becoming an entrepreneur was his desire for independence. As a risktaker and creative mind, he felt that he was never going to be satisfied with his nine-to-five job. Now our first design sneaker has launched and not only is he paving the way of his own independence, he wants to create opportunities for other young and ambitious minds.
By proving design fashion and creating opportunities for young and ambitious minds, we strive towards a world where working independent is the norm. We believe that working for yourself where hard work really pays of is a life worth living and that everyone must be able to have this opportunity.

THE BRAND
OUR STORY
Founded in 2015, Yeba is the first contemporary accessory brand with African roots to ascend the world of luxury handbags.
Yeba aims at championing women to reveal their greatness and fulfill their potential. We design modern and timeless essentials, highest quality handbags drawing inspiration from both modern aesthetics(such as architecture) and Yeba’s African heritage from Benin. Perfect balance between modernity and tradition, our handbags are beautiful objects with a soul, handcrafted by fine Italian artisans to last longer than a lifetime. They are pieces to keep tight by your side on your journey towards self-accomplishment.
At heart, founder Yeba believes that every woman has a true inner talent. This way, her accessory should help her not to lose sight of what is already there deep inside. Wearing the name ‘Yeba’ is simply wearing an invisible crown – a crown that has been passed down as heritage from a long line of strong women to you. This name, this title, is the bond that unites all of us, as one community, with roots all over the world, animated by the same yearning heart, the same ambition to fulfill ourselves and have a positive impact in this world.
Yeba means – the one born to accomplish her destiny. It is a state of mind, a philosophy, a mindset. A legacy.
THE LEGEND OF YEBA
Hundreds years ago, in the land of the hills of Benin, the first Yeba was born. She became Queen after her father died on the battlefield. To everyone’s surprise, she led her troops to victory. As she wanted her domain to be a peaceful one, she forged alliances with subregion tribes. She did something no woman or man had done before.
She gave birth to three sons and she made them promise to name their first daughters Yeba, which now means ‘the one born to fulfill her destiny.’
When you are called Yeba, it implies that there is nothing you cannot accomplish.
If this Queen’s spirit could speak today, it would tell you…
Embracing this anything-is-possible mindset and philosophy, we want to create ‘elegant & feminine’, yet practical, chic business essentials that fit into modern women’s lifestyles. The Yeba woman is confident and aspirational. Each essential she wears becomes a statement that reflects her personal drive.
Most of the time, she’s on the go, walking her way down to life like nothing can stop her. Smiley and focused, she is intelligent, driven & confident, knowing that there is no limit to what she can accomplish or choose to be.
Yeba Olayé is a Belgian-Beninese designer. Two years ago, she left behind her career in management consulting to pursue her dream: create an aspirational luxury brand. Starting with nothing but a sketchbook, she ultimately turned her vision into reality: her beautiful collection ‘Premiere’ and her undefeated passion inspires.
Yeba designs for a woman who lives in the present and moves toward achieving herself; a woman that is aspirational and wants to be the lead of her own story.

How can you order your fabric?
Choose your fabric
From a punchy color to a cheerful print: choose the fabric that suits you. Every 2 months we launch a new fabric. You always have two weeks with every new launch to order your favorite fabric. After that you can no longer buy the fabric for a while!
Presale closes
You have made your choice and purchased the fabric in advance. After 2 weeks, the pre-sale is closed and the fabric goes into production. That way we know the exact number to be produced.
Your package is coming!
After 2 to 3 weeks, the fabrics will be delivered to us and you will have your package in the bus two days later! In total, your order will take about 3 weeks. But that doesn’t matter, then you can already think of which pattern you want to use!
WHO ARE WE?
We are Sofie & Catherine, creatives pur sang.
Catherine has been a designer for many years, crazy about screen printing,
loves prints and cheerful colours.
Sofie has been working in the event sector for years,
photographer, sewing addict and a big fan of yellow.
Where we stand for
01 Surprising prints We surprise you every 2 months with a new fabric with a unique and timeless print. Viscose, tencel, gabardine, …. everything is possible!
02 Ecological & sustainable Our fabrics will not go into print until the presale is closed. In this way we do not produce more than necessary and we can respond perfectly to the requested quantities. The production process also takes place nearby. A double win in terms of sustainability!
03 slow fashion Slow means really slow to us, no deliveries within 24 hours possible ;-). At Yellow & Jaune you will have to wait a little longer for your package because after the pre-sale, we will only produce and then your order will be packed with lots of love!
