Vintage African Hand Bag | African Tote | Made in Kenya | Made by Women
We recently met an interesting woman who had spent a fair amount of time in Africa, particularly Kenya. She had many treasures and was looking to downsize. Most of her items were made by women in Africa. Fortunately for us, she was willing to part with some of her treasures.
According to the seller, this bag was made by women in a Kenyan cooperative. It is features soft reds and golden beiges with black piping all around. The inside is lined with a nylon like material and it has two sections inside. It's a great bag for an afternoon of shopping or lunch with your friends.
