Etsy Finds: The Original African Monk Bag
Article Header Image

Whether it be a jaunt to the market or a journey to the shores of Zanzibar, you cannot go wrong with this lovely tote from jetsetting Etsy artist vwithoutb.  A self-proclaimed world traveller, vwithoutb was inspired by the traditional monk's bags she found in Cambodia and Thailand; however, she decided to make it with the exquisite hand-dyed gara cloth she picked up in Sierra Leone in West Africa.

Wow, this gal really gets around!

Each bag is lined with a thin matching cotton liner, and has a small zip-pocket to put money and valuables, shown here in taupe with light pink highlights.
