Yellow Woven Bag with Circular Handles - Circle of Color & Carry – Enkito e Oltau (Step of Gathering).
More than a bag—this vessel is a woven celebration of brightness, rhythm, and ancestral movement.
Introducing the Enkito e Oltau Circle of Color & Carry: a handcrafted yellow tote-style bag with bold circular handles wrapped in brown fiber, held aloft in a shop surrounded by baskets and containers in pink, green, black, and natural tones. Its vibrant hue and sculptural form invite gifting, market movement, and ceremonial use. Designed for everyday journeys, boutique displays, or ritual offerings, this piece transforms portability into pride.
Artisan Connection:
Woven by women’s cooperatives in Nyeri, Kenya, the bag is crafted from sisal and baobab fiber, dyed with natural pigments and shaped using traditional plaiting techniques. The circular handles symbolize continuity and grace, while the yellow body evokes vitality, joy, and solar energy.
