Colour-Block Shopper Bag – Harambee Mfuko (The Unified Bag)

More than a mere tote—this shopper is a dynamic invocation of Community Unity and Modern African Design, featuring a striking fusion of grounded solids and vibrant geometric patterns.

Introducing the Harambee Mfuko Colour-Block Shopper Bag:

A highly functional, structured shoulder bag defined by its bold central panel of geometric Kitenge fabric, framed by durable solid-colour canvas or textured fabric. The metallic eyelets and braided straps complete the contemporary, high-quality finish.
