With a reversible design these tote bags offer double the styling options with Ahwenepa Nkasa fabric on the exterior and in the lining of the bag. They are perfect for everyday essentials from your laptop, gym wear to groceries.
Our tote bags honour the Ghanaian Tradition of Day Names. In Ghana children are given a ‘day name’ which corresponds to the day of the week when they were born. A child named Abena is born on a Tuesday.
This is the first edition Abena tote bag.
FLO London The Shop’s 2021 collection is dedicated to the Ahwenepa Nkasa fabric. Fabrics in Ghana have proverbial meanings. Ahwenepa Nkasa means ‘good waist beads do not make noise’. This is a common proverb among Ghanaians which implies you should let your deeds or character speak for you.
Our reversible tote bags will make a unique gift for the fashionistas in your life, busy parents on the run to those back to school or university.
We can beautifully gift wrap your tote bag in recycled tissue paper with an Ahwenepa Nkasa fabric bow and we have Ahwenepa Nkasa print cards for you to send with your gift. We can also add a special message on the card.
All of our products come with a card explaining the meaning of the Ahwenepa Nkasa fabric.
