The Sawa Sawa handwoven African basket sisal tote bag is an essential accessory for the conscious consumer seeking style, sustainability, and social impact. As mothers themselves, our founders understand the importance of practicality in African summer shoulder tote bags. Crafted meticulously by skilled artisan women of Kenya, each tote is a testament to these remarkable women's ancient weaving, beading, and artistic talents. By partnering directly with the artisans, we not only provide them with a dignified income but also offer a platform for them to showcase their expertise. The revenue generated is reinvested into vital empowerment programs, with a particular focus on reproductive health education and period hygiene. The sisal fiber is sustainably harvested from the agave plant at the heart of the African woven purse. Whether you're heading to the gym or the beach, this canvas tote bag is the ideal laundry bag, gym bag, and travel toiletry bag all in one.
