Tote Bags

Tote bags in canvas, printed linen and leather, made in Kenya.

The canvas tote is the everyday one — big enough for a market run, light enough to fold into another bag, in green, blue or white. The printed linen totes carry our leopard, bird and sandstone prints and sit somewhere between a shopping bag and a handbag.

At the other end are the leather totes: cow hide and suede, cut and stitched by hand, some with a flap, one with beaded handles. Leather is one of the few materials that improves with use, so these are bought once and carried for years rather than replaced each season.
