Hand Woven Market Tote

Kenyan women put their expert weaving skills to work to bring you this down-to-earth banana fiber market tote. Woven from long strips of fiber extracted from banana palm leaves, each bag is durable and naturally variegated.

Creating useful modern accessories from natural fibers, using traditional crafting skills, allows many rural Kenyan women to earn supplemental income from the comfort of their own homes.

Double braided handles reinforce the bag's bottom, giving extra durability for many trips to and from market.
