Set of 3 Large Kitenge bags

• 3 large bags (for large gifts/ shirt box) Approx. size 24″x15″

Kitenge bags are premier Enkiteng Bags* – they are made using traditional Kenyan colorful fabric called Kitenge.

They represent a crucial, next step in our program, where participants learn how to source and invest in local materials, such as Kitenge fabric.

*Enkiteng bags are re-usable cloth gift wrapping bags made of donated fabric that were originally designed to serve as an eco-friendly way to wrap presents. Over the years they have been on the market, they have become SEW much more! They are being used as travel bags, storage for jewelry, shoes, lingerie and many other uses. They are fast, flexible, and easy to use – as well as fun to give – and re-gift!

Enkiteng bags are:

  • Fair Trade verified
  • Upcycled & eco-friendly
  • Multi-purpose and reusable
  • Fast, flexible and easy to use
  • Socially responsible
  • Sustainably made
  • Fun to give – and re-gift!

Gorgeous fabrics randomly selected. E-mail us your favorite colors or specific requests and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Bags are made in Kenya by the seamstresses in our sewing program. Each bag made after 2014  is initialed or signed by the woman who made it and their profiles and pictures are on the SEAMSTRESSES page of our website.

”Enkiteng” means “cow” in the Maasai language. Since the Maasai community is the first community where we launched the sewing program, we felt that this name was fitting. A cow symbolizes freedom, wealth, and power in this community. Cows are valued as being the most giving animal as they provide milk on a daily basis, and meat in times of need. Cows are also the dowry that is paid by a groom’s family for a girl’s hand in marriage.
