Choose your piece
Maker
Crafted by skilled tailors who combine durable utility fabrics with detailed, narrative embroidery.
Meaning
'Kwetu' translates to 'our home' or 'our place'. This design pays homage to the legendary 'Big Five' of the African bush—the lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo—rendered in detailed, multi-colored thread.
Making
A stark black textured canvas is utilized to make the intricate animal embroidery 'pop'. The bag is heavily bordered and strapped with a hyper-colorful, geometric patterned fabric, creating a sharp contrast.
Use
A spacious, structured tote that serves as a vibrant conversation piece. Ideal for carrying books, market finds, or serving as a vibrant travel companion.
