Chanzo Bag (The Modern Day Pot)
Chanzo Bag (The Modern Day Pot)
Humans have a soulful need to map their lives whether they’re searching for meaning at the moment or leaving breadcrumbs for their progenies to use in navigating through life’s twists and turns. We are all born with an urge to interrogate the source of things and ideas.
SIWWAA’s Chanzo Collection draws deeply from that and testifies to our hard-wired purpose to celebrate Africa’s cultural heritage in every product we birth.
Chanzo is a classic Swahili word that means “the start” or “the source.”
This scene-stealing, calf hair Chanzo tote bag, the firstborn of the collection, draws its design inspiration from traditional African pots: their curvilinear forms, and surface embellishments spanning from floral etchings to symmetrical lines.
It also carries powerful symbolism: the African pot traditionally epitomized abundance and was gifted at the onset of important relationships. What better representation of our wish for SIWWAA clients, and what we hope will be the beginning of a life-long relationship, than the Chanzo bag?
The limited-edition tote, with its meticulously handcrafted details and responsibly sourced materials, is crafted to last a lifetime and to be lovingly passed on to future generations - the source for another beginning.
