Braided Raffia Black Day Tote Bag

$148.00
Details

The beautiful Day Bag features braided locally-sourced raffia. The raffia is dyed black by our artisans in Rwanda. This sturdy bag will take you and your belongings along for the day. 

Dimensions: 16.25L x 9.25H x 5.5W in

Handle Drop: 4 in

Handmade in Rwanda. Individually handcrafted, every piece reflects the artisan’s touch. Variations are not flaws—they’re part of what makes each creation uniquely yours.

Care Guide

Our woven pieces are sturdy and made to last. They’re also meant to be used, and because life happens, sometimes they get a little out of shape. You can reshape your bag by spraying creased areas with water and pressing into your desired shape. The material should feel damp but not saturated. Add water slowly to get a feel for what your piece needs and avoid color bleeding. Let dry, avoiding direct sunlight, or placing on fabrics.
If you notice stray fibers just give them a trim!
