Your smart casual, go-to bag for those days where you need to feel confident but cool. Its dark olive-green exterior in dry-wax with a deep maroon quilted interior gives it a smart, luxurious finish while the sturdy slouch brings on a unique take to the messenger bag form. Complete with sisal detailing, Miji is inspired by the large, multi-purpose woven sisal baskets that enrich Nairobi roadsides.

    Sometimes we cannot be certain where a material originated. This is because where we sourced it from may not have kept records of it. Where we can be sure, we have marked it. In most cases, multiple countries are involved. For example, a fabric may have grown in one country, milled in another, and cut somewhere else. We have written where the last process was carried out. For example, the dry-waxed canvas was milled in Scotland, and the inner lining offcuts are from a production activity carried out in Kenya.

PRODUCT REVIEWS

"I am in love with my Miji Bag!  I had been looking for an everyday bag which would easily fit my laptop but also had a unique aesthetic. The woven sisal panel is beautiful and really pops against the dark green.  The bag is even more gorgeous in person and is clearly good quality. It has been super practical too and fits all my stuff easily.  Comfortable, adjustable strap and it distributes the weight of my laptop really well.  Very happy with the purchase and highly recommend it."
