Maker

Hand-woven by Kamba women artisans, demonstrating a lighter, more open variation of the traditional kiondo weaving technique.

Meaning

'Mpenzi' translates to beloved. This variant utilizes a deep, warm ochre dye, mirroring the rich, iron-heavy soils of the Kenyan landscape.

Making

The sisal fibers are dyed a rich brown before being woven. The artisan employs an open twining technique, creating a structured yet breathable net-like vessel with matching woven sisal handles and a densely woven, solid base.

Use

A richly colored, breathable everyday tote. The warm earth tones and lightweight structure make it perfect for carrying essentials with effortless, natural style.
