Maker

Hand-woven by Kamba women artisans, demonstrating a lighter, more open variation of the traditional kiondo weaving technique.

Meaning

'Mpenzi' translates to beloved or darling. This specific variant features fresh, forest-green horizontal banding, bringing a sense of vitality and growth to the natural ivory base.

Making

Sisal fibers are stripped, dried, and twisted. Artisans utilize an open twining technique, spacing the weaves to create a lightweight, breathable structure, interspersed with vibrant green dyed fiber, and finished with matching woven sisal handles.

Use

An incredibly lightweight, breathable everyday tote. Perfect for carrying fresh produce from the market or as a breezy, casual summer accessory.
