Kibibi Bags

We love these fabulous "kibibi" bags from Dar-es-salaam.

An upcycle twist on the Tanzanian tradition of weaving scraps of cloth into welcome mats and other homewares, these fluffy  wonders are made from discarded plastic bags. Sourced from womens groups in Tanzania  these fair-trade bags are good to the community and to the planet at the same time. Incredibly time-consuming and detailed, every bag is different and lined with Kitenge another gorgeous Tanzanian fabric.

Kibibi is Little Madam in Kiswahili!
