Urban Glyphs Tote Bags – Pambo La Kisasa (Modern Adornment)

More than a mere bag—this tote is a kinetic invocation of Contemporary African Design and Ancient Symbolism, transforming everyday carry into wearable art.

Introducing the Pambo La Kisasa Urban Glyphs Tote: A structured shoulder bag that features a stunning contrast between its charcoal heathered canvas upper and a lower band of bold, graphic fabric. The print below is a complex, modern interpretation of African motifs—using vibrant red, orange, and electric blue to depict stylized triangles, squares, circles, and linear codes against a black background.

Artisan Connection

Handcrafted by a dynamic design collective in Nairobi, Kenya, this tote embodies the thrilling energy of East Africa's modern art scene. It respects traditional geometric storytelling while pushing boundaries with a contemporary, high-contrast palette. The graphic symbols evoke communication, community codes, and forward-looking energy. Each piece is shaped with intention—offering high-fashion style, cultural dialogue, and direct support to innovative urban artisans.
