Munamai Tote Bag
Details & artisan story
The Munamai
Yellow at the top. Yellow at the bottom. In between, dark blue bleeding into orange — not a clean line, not a deliberate border, but a gradient that happened where two dyed sections met the heat and let each other in. The blue and orange don't fully become each other. They just remember that they were once close.
The yellow frames it. Two equal bands holding either end of a transition that is still happening in the middle. The bag looks different depending on which end you look at first.
This is the most painterly thing in the range. Not because anyone painted it — but because the dye did what dye does when it is applied by hand to natural fiber, which is find its own way to the edges.
7" x 8". The smallest tote in the range. Compact enough that the color story is the whole story — there is no negative space, no plain section, nowhere for the eye to rest without finding something.
Nubuck leather straps. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Keep from prolonged moisture, store somewhere dry. Each bag is unique — the gradient between blue and orange will shift in width, depth and intensity in every single piece, more than any other bag in the range, because it was never fully controlled to begin with.
7" x 8" — Sisal and Nubuck leather — Handmade in Machakos, Kenya.
