{SOLD} Osei-Duro Accra Tote





*photos courtesy of Nora

Cool tote made in Ghana by Osei-Duro.  Made of bogalon "mud cloth" with wax print interior.  Straps are leather.  I purchased this off of from someone listing on Noihsaf_Bazaar on Instagram who is also a LoGEr.  Tote was received on 6/16, and I have not used it at all.  Shows minimal signs of wear on the exterior, with near perfect interior.  Has an inside zip pocket, and is also reversible.  Was featured on Of a Kind, and there are only 39 in existence. 

From Of a Kind website:

Handmade in Ghana; measures 15 inches by 13 inches by 4 inches; exterior made of hand-spun, handwoven, and hand-dyed cotton bogalon (mudcloth) from Mali; lining made from cotton waxprint made in Ghana; straps, which measure 50 inches base-to-base with 25-inch handles, are made from leather sourced in Ghana.

Asking $55 with US shipping included (this is what I paid).

E-mail nikoshkopa{at}gmail.com.

Listing ends June 29, 2013 or earlier if you'd like.
