Product description
Handmade in Ghana, the Ama I bag is reversible and the perfect bag for your everyday essentials.
With a reversible design these tote bags offer double the styling options with Ahwenepa Nkasa fabric on the exterior and in the lining of the bag.
Our tote bags honour the Ghanaian Tradition of Day Names. In Ghana children are given a ‘day name’ which corresponds to the day of the week when they were born. A child named Ama is born on a Saturday.
This is the first edition Ama tote bag.
FLO London The Shop’s 2021 collection is dedicated to the Ahwenepa Nkasa fabric. Fabrics in Ghana have proverbial meanings. The fabric we have used for our first collection is named Ahwenepa Nkasa, which means ‘good waist beads do not make noise’. This is a common proverb among Ghanaians which implies you should let your deeds or character speak for you.
