Leather Care

To help your bag age beautifully and preserve its structure, color, and craftsmanship, follow these care recommendations. The durable canvas, organic cotton lining, and leather accents are designed to withstand regular use when treated with proper care.

Care Instructions:

Routine Cleaning:
Gently brush away loose dust or dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For the lining, lightly shake out or spot-clean as needed. Avoid abrasive tools or harsh detergents that may damage the print or fibers.

Spot Cleaning:
For marks on the canvas, clean the area with a mild soap solution and a cloth lightly dampened with cool water. Gently blot—do not rub—to avoid distorting the print. Allow the bag to air dry fully before using again.

Leather Accents:
Keep the leather pieces conditioned 1–2 times a year with a leather conditioner suitable for small goods. Apply sparingly and always test on a discreet area first. Avoid getting conditioner on the canvas.

Drying:
If the bag becomes wet, reshape it and let it air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat (radiators, heaters, hair dryers) and direct sunlight, which can cause fading or drying of both canvas and leather.

Storage:
Store the bag in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ideally, keep it inside a breathable dust bag to protect it from dust and prolonged light exposure. Ensure the bag is empty and not squished under heavy items to maintain its structure.

Avoid:
Extended exposure to heavy rain, high humidity, oils, perfumes, makeup, and dyes from dark clothing that may transfer onto the canvas or leather.

Free Shipping & Returns

If it’s not the perfect match, simply hand it back to the delivery team at no cost. You only pay via MPESA once you’re sure the style, quality, and craftsmanship meet your expectations.

Handcrafted With Purpose

Printed Canvas with Leather Detail

The Amber Petal is made from durable canvas featuring a warm floral Miriam Bella print. The canvas is selected for its strength, print clarity and ability to retain the mini tote’s structured shape through regular use.

An organic cotton lining finishes the interior, while ethically sourced leather detailing adds strength and contrast to the printed canvas.

Thoughtful Everyday Functionality

The Amber Petal carries the smaller pieces you reach for every day without the size of a full handbag. It holds a phone, slim wallet or cardholder, keys and a few lip or cosmetic items.

Its short leather strap allows the bag to sit under the arm or be carried by hand. The top zip closure keeps everything securely together.

Masterful Craftsmanship

Each Asha mini tote is handmade in small batches by skilled artisans at an independent workshop in Nairobi, Kenya. The printed canvas is individually cut and stitched before the organic cotton lining, leather strap, leather detailing and top zip closure are added.

Each stage contributes to the bag’s clean structure and carefully finished appearance.

Work That Creates Opportunity

The independent ethical workshop was founded by Kevin, a Kenyan man who had himself faced economic disadvantage. His experience shaped a workshop committed to creating opportunities for others facing similar barriers.

Today, the workshop employs women and men from disadvantaged backgrounds, providing skilled employment and opportunities to develop their sewing, bag-making and leatherworking expertise.
