Artisan Arc Tote – Geometric Weave & Earth Spirit – Enkito e Sidai (Step of Beauty).
More than a handbag—this arc is a woven celebration of movement, identity, and ancestral elegance.
Introducing the Enkito e Sidai Arc Tote: a semi-circular woven handbag crafted from natural fibers and adorned with symmetrical geometric motifs in earthy tones—brown, black, and beige. With circular handles and a flat base, it balances form and function, tradition and trend. Ideal for everyday wear, ceremonial outings, or boutique gifting, this piece carries story, style, and soul.
Artisan Connection:
Handwoven by women’s cooperatives in Narok and Nyeri, Kenya, the Arc Tote is made from sisal and baobab fiber, dyed with natural pigments and shaped using indigenous techniques. The motifs reflect regional symbolism—zigzags for journey, diamonds for protection, and stripes for rhythm. Each stitch is intentional, each pattern a prayer.
