Satchel in Aqua and Fuchsia

Story

Aren't these fabrics incredible? Our aqua and fuchsia African-style textile creates a lively, contemporary satchel. The bell and yolk shapes create an attractive silhouette. With six pleats on each side, and roomy interior compartments, this satchel can fit a 15" widescreen laptop and much more.

Use it as a work bag, school bag, dance bag or everyday bag to get you around town. It also makes an impressive carryon on those airline trips!

All of my handbags highlight the incredible art of African textile design. I lived in Malawi, Southern Africa in 2006. Visiting markets and observing the women and their fabrics motivated me to start Dsenyo. (Read my Bio for more on this)
