The Bags for Books Project
The Bags for Books project is the perfect marriage between using the beautiful Kitenge fabric of East Africa and empowering the people of Tanzania.
The construction of these beautiful bags provides both income for widows and books for school children of Tanzania. We are excited to announce our first run of something that not only looks good, but does good.
Each pattern has been given a name from a Swahili word that describes the fabric. Each bag comes with a beautiful tag that explains about the Bags for Books projects. We also include extras for you to hand out when people admire your good taste.

We are pleased to offer two types of bags. The "Boho" bag is perfect as a purse, school bag or day bag. It is fully lined, has a reinforced bottom, and has two separate pockets for cell phones, and other things you want to keep handy. It is finished with a hand-carved button that you can use to keep your bag closed and secure.
The Boho bags can be folded and secured for easy transport and can even fit inside the Tote making packing a breeze.
The "Tote" fits most tablets and is also great for keeping books, journals, Bibles or can also work as a slimline purse. It is also fully lined and has a pocket for your cell phone or other items.
Since each bag is hand-crafted, every bag is different. Also, due to the changing nature of fabric availability, our stock will continually change. Check below for the bags currently in stock.
