Are you looking for a high-impact bag?
You might want to check out these bold and funky totes and purses from Tokyo Made!
They’re made in Tokyo, by designers MACBAG and Colorcult – with an interesting twist. The body of the purses are made from handmade African fabric. You can’t get much more multi-cultural than that…
This is the “Lattice Tote” by Colorcult. It’s made using handmade Nigerian wax printed fabric (the design is made by layering different colors of dye over top of the fabric – the dye can’t penetrate the wax, which allows for intricate designs to be created). It’s finished with riveted leather handles.
The “Pink Ornate Tote” is also by Colorcult. The body of the bag is a Nigerian wax print cloth with quilted pink leather handles.
This cute little purse is the “Pink Orchid Party Bag” by MACBAG. The body of the bag is an African print, topped with leather. There is also a detachable leather shoulder strap.
