THE MAASAI BAG

Inspired by a 100-year-old vintage bag we spotted in Kenya, this piece reimagines the traditional Maasai hip bag with modern refinement and reverence. Originally used to carry essentials like medicinal herbs and fire-making tools, it was designed to sit comfortably at the hip, close to the body.

Ours is crafted from soft, sueded leather and reinforced for structure and durability. Over time, it molds to the wearer. On one side, intricate glass beadwork references enkarewa, the ceremonial collars worn by Maasai women. Each color and pattern carries symbolic weight, a wearable story of values passed down through generations.

Individually numbered and one-of-a-kind, the result is a piece that bridges centuries: tactile, functional, and alive with meaning.

While we can’t take returns at this time—each piece is individually commissioned and made in very small quantities—exchanges can be made within 14 days of delivery. For more information visit Shipping & Exchanges.
