Designer Linda Hackett of Los Angeles draws upon her experience in fashion and travel to source kuba fabrics, and vintage indigo and tie-dye materials from Africa, and to then style handbags and totes. These are well-made, with internal pockets, leather straps and handles and provide “right livelihood” to nearly 170 artisans in Africa.
• Kuba cloth is the fabric in this bag. Kuba fabrics are made from the raffia fibers of palm trees by Kasai people, living deep in the Congo. This is a very time-consuming process to produce these fabrics; the leaves of the palm tree are pounded and boiled until the fibers begin to fray. Men are the weavers, women dye and design the materials.
• Shoulderbag with leather handle is 18″ wide at the bottom, tapers to 13″ wide at the top, 8″ tall and 4″ deep
• Magnetized closure
• Internal pockets, one zipped
• Lined
