The Handcrafted Details
Artisans craft these bags using panels woven from banana leaves and kitenge fabric.
Pop-Up Bags have a removable banana panel in the bottom, giving structure to the bag. When removed, the bags fold flat!
Please note that, as a tote, the bag does not have pockets or a top closure.
Care: Wipe with a damp cloth.
Ethically crafted by a person in rural Rwanda.
