Everyday Patchwork Tote Bag
We couldn't be prouder to celebrate the work of Everyday Africa through this special, limited edition collaboration, combining our patchwork tote bags, made with the offcuts in our production process, and the powerful imagery of Yagazie Emezi.
Everyday Africa is a collective of photographers whose emphasis on localized storytelling via social media has been a force for correcting journalism’s unbalanced history, providing greater context to international coverage of Africa and promoting the work of African photojournalists.
Proceeds from the sales of these totes will go to support the work of The Everyday Projects.
Dimensions: 17"x18"
100% cotton. Made in Kenya. P.S. Because each one is unique, it will be different from the one photographed.

Meet our production partner, SOKO Kenya! Based in Kikambala on the Kenyan coast, they are an ethical manufacturer that truly embraces a fair, kind and transparent work culture. In addition to paying above living wages, SOKO Kenya provides employees with paid leave and stipends for family emergencies, free pre-primary childcare for all employees with children from ages 2-4, daily mid-morning tea and midday lunch, and clear, outlined processes for job advancement. These values extend to the workspace itself, which is open, airy and bright. It’s truly a privilege to work with the SOKO Kenya team, and we invite you to learn more about the stitching process here!
We work with an incredible network of fabric vendors in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi to source textiles. Over the years and many hundreds of prints, we've learned a lot about how to select fabrics. We truly have these women to thank for sharing their knowledge and trust, and in doing so, creating such a mutually supportive experience. Learn more about our process and our vendors here!
