Know before you buy
The bag measures 11.5 inches wide by 10 inches high. While it has an open-top, flexible design, it is best suited for daily essentials like a wallet, phone, keys, and a small cosmetic pouch.
The raffia is handwoven to be durable yet flexible. Because it is an unlined, natural fiber, it has a soft, organic structure that conforms to the items you carry.
The bag is designed to be reshapeable. If it loses its form, you can gently dampen the raffia with a light mist of water and mold it back into your desired shape, allowing it to air dry completely.
Yes, the strap is crafted from black braided raffia, which provides a sturdy yet comfortable grip. With an 18-inch handle drop, it sits easily on the shoulder without digging in.
The Mini Keza features an open-top design with no interior lining or pockets. This minimalist construction keeps the bag lightweight and highlights the traditional handwoven technique.
Every purchase directly supports women artisans in Rwanda and Ghana. Indego Africa operates through fair trade partnerships that provide consistent income and fund vital education programs for these communities.
