The Mapula Embroidered Tote Bag is one of those pieces that feels special the moment you pick it up. Hand-embroidered by the women of the Mapula Embroidery Project in South Africa, each bag carries its own character, story and small details that make it completely unique.

Set against deep black cotton, the colourful embroidery stands out beautifully, with scenes inspired by everyday life, local flora and the natural landscape. No two are ever exactly the same, adding to the charm of these handmade pieces.

Fully lined with vibrant African print fabric and finished with sturdy shoulder straps, it is practical enough for market mornings, books, beach days or everyday essentials, while still feeling beautifully considered.

  • Front: Hand-embroidered on 100% South African Edenrose cotton.
  • Interior: Fully lined with a bright, contrasting "African print" cotton fabric for a surprise burst of colour every time you open it.
  • Handle: Equipped with a sturdy double shoulder strap for comfortable daily use.

IMPACT
Mapula, meaning "Mother of Rain," is a world-renowned embroidery project that has provided artistic empowerment and financial stability to women in disadvantaged communities since 1991. By purchasing this bag, you directly support the livelihoods of these women and their families, helping to sustain a project that has been celebrated in museums and galleries worldwide.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
To preserve the vivid colours and delicate threadwork:

  • Wash: Gentle hand-wash only using wool-friendly detergent.
  • Dry: Hang to dry in a shady spot (direct sunlight may fade the black cotton).
  • Iron: Iron face-down on a soft towel using a steam iron. Avoid high heat directly on the embroidery, as the thread is synthetic and may melt.
  • Available for Shipping Nationwide
  • Plantify Quality Guarantee
