These unique, quality bags are handcrafted by a mother and daughter team using sturdy canvas and fine local and African textiles, embroidered with designs that we hope speak to your fun side. Profits from these bags go to the Glow Effect Center for Women and Girls in Uganda, a program close to our hearts that contributes to the global movement for women’s empowerment.
Our bags are individually hand constructed from beginning to end which allows us the creativity to mix and match. We don’t work with mass produced blank bags.
They are fully lined with reinforced double stitching, interior patch pocket, and machine embroidery using high quality fade resistant thread. Sturdy canvas and fine African or local textiles for the interior with strong webbing for handles. 14×17 dimensions.
Our bags are meant to match your lifestyle and personality. With an assortment of embroideries and colors we want you to have the bag that speaks to you. Traveler? City girl? Outdoorsy? Artist? Cook? Whoever you are and however you define yourself, our bags can go with you anywhere. We promise that whether you are going to the gym, the farmer’s market or to coffee, your bag will be functional, eye catching, and a reflection of you. Take a look at our slideshow to see some of the designs we have done and check out our shop for current available styles.

Passion Fruit 
I LOVE my passion fruit bag! It’s the perfect tote for my lunches to and from work on the NYC subway and has come with me on many travels.. to the Hamptons, to Seattle, and Colorado. The quality of the craftsmanship is outstanding and the designs are really fun and unique. It’s also wonderful that all the proceeds go towards empowering women. What’s not to like?
