Checkered Sling Bag in Ochre & Cream

Slouchy, spacious, and made from authentic African mud cloth hand-woven and naturally dyed in Mali, the Checkered Sling Bag is the kind of hands-free carryall that goes everywhere and looks better for it. The bold geometric check is woven into the fabric itself — not printed — using a centuries-old Malian tradition called Bogolan, in which cotton is dyed with fermented mud and natural botanicals in a process that is as environmentally grounded as it is visually striking.
