Our African Baule Cloth Bags are a thing of beauty. Inspired by Creative Director Amal Wilemon's love for African textiles, we stitch each bag from no less than ten different hand-dyed Baule Cloths from Côte D’Ivoire.

Hand-stitched in our Maker Studio located in Maai Mahiu, Kenya, each bag is unique and one of a kind. What's more, your bag is eternally connected to other bags made with parts of the same Baule Cloth. What we love about this is that this bag connects each of its owners to what it means to #liveubuntu, a manifestation of the interconnected nature of our shared humanity, each woven to the other, living boldly and beautifully into the world!

• Size: 18" x 16", strap drop 7"
• Due to its unique nature, each piece will vary slightly.
• We do not recommend laundering textiles. Even dry cleaning is too much for some of these antique textiles. 
• Every product supports meaningful, full-time employment in Kenya!
