The vibrant design of this cotton handbag by Alex Boakye celebrates Ghana's legendary kente tradition. Historically, kente was reserved for special occasions, festive and or sacred. Now kente artistry stands as a symbol of prestige, cheerfulness and glamour. Featuring sleek rattan handles, this bag is fully lined and includes a pocket that closes with a zipper. As kente tradition dictates, the maker names the design and Boakye calls this bag Sika ye, meaning "money is sweet" in the Akan language.
