Know before you buy
The tote is crafted from raffia, a natural fiber derived from palm leaves known for its durability and lightweight texture.
For every order placed, Indego Africa plants one mangrove tree in Kenya. This initiative helps restore natural coastal habitats and contributes to broader climate change mitigation efforts.
Yes. Because every tote is meticulously handcrafted using traditional heritage techniques, there may be slight variations in the weave and finish, making each piece one-of-a-kind.
Raffia is a natural material that should be kept dry. To clean, gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause the fibers to become brittle.
Indego Africa is committed to supporting local livelihoods. By purchasing this tote, you are directly contributing to the economic empowerment of the artisan partners who use their traditional skills to create these pieces.
