LIMITED EDITION

Traditional fabric from Kenya brought to you by traveler Brittany Ammerman.

This tote is handcrafted in the USA from traditional fabric sourced directly by our traveler, Brittany Ammerman, during her journey to Kenya. With only nine handmade pieces crafted from fabric sourced directly from Kenya, these bags are truly unique collector's items. Once sold out, they will not be reproduced, making them rare and exclusive for those seeking distinctive, one-of-a-kind accessories.

"The fabric is sold at the local market in Lunga Lunga each week. The women in the local villages surrounding Lunga Lunga wear the fabric as skirt-like wraps called kangas. The fabric is used to make dresses for special occasions. Women also use the kanga fabric as carriers for their young babies. They wrap the kanga across their bodies and place the baby on their back in the kanga. The fabric is also used to design bags in the villages that are then sold in the local markets and Mombasa." —Brittany Ammerman
