Our fair trade, traditional African tote bag comes exclusively in earth tones: brown, tan and black. This is the original Kenyan woven tote made from sisal (cactus) fiber, with leather straps, and is available in two distinct styles: with a lining and zipper closure or as an open tote, without zipper and lining. Buyer's choice.
Container or utility baskets like these are durable and can be put to multiple uses, such as: a beach bag, carry-on or weekender, crafting or knitting caddy, farmer's market basket, grocery or shopping bag, handbag or tote, or laptop carrier, to name a few!
Sisal is a sustainable renewable resource derived from the Agave plant, that is a 100% biodegradable alternative to plastic. As a natural fiber, it has properties similar to other eco-friendly materials like bamboo and hemp.
