Description
This bag is made from Bogolan also called mudcloth, wooden frame and leather. Bogolan or Mudcloth is a handmade Malian cotton fabric handwoven and traditionally dyed with fermented mud. It has an important place in traditional Malian culture and has, more recently, become a symbol of Malian cultural identity. In traditional Malian culture, Bogolan is worn by hunters, serving as camouflage, as ritual protection and as a badge of status. The use of the mudcloth in this piece brings out a contemporary yet an African fashion style.
The base of the bag is about 14.5 inches in length with a width of 6.5 inches and a height of 9.5 inches from the base to the handle. The leather used for this bag is leather scraps mainly off cut leather from bag making factories in Europe which has been upcycled or otherwise reused to make this beautiful piece.

This bag is absolutely gorgeous and very well made! It comes with a satin storing bag, packed impeccably. I'm definitely buying more from this seller: very professional, good communication and shipping was within the length expected. A little hiccup with the delivery, but it was just an error & quickly resolved.
You will not be disappointed!
The bag is very beautiful, however it requires better packaging to avoid bumps and scratches on the bag, especially at the price paid. I will not return it because it took more than a week to arrive, a follow-up email was necessary because the package did not leave and I had no return from the seller. However, once the follow-up was done via afrikrea who were responsive, the seller sent the order, an error with DHL delayed the arrival of the order but it was quickly corrected by calling them. I still recommend, because the services are very responsive and the product is very beautiful.
Le sac est très beau, cependant il nécessite un meilleur emballage pour éviter les chocs et rayures sur le sac surtout au prix payé. Je ne vais pas le retourner car il a mis plus d’une semaine à arriver, un mail de relance à été nécessaire car le colis ne partait pas et je n’avais aucun retour du vendeur.
Cependant, une fois la relance faite via afrikrea qui ont été réactif, le vendeur a envoyé la commande, une erreur avec DHL a retardé l’arrivée de la commande mais ça a été rapidement corrigé en les appelant.
Je recommande quand même, car les services sont très réactifs et que le produit est très beau.
Hello, I have received the article and I just loooooove it. Much better than a Dior or a Fendi bag. And also, I wanted to say thank you for reducing the price value on the pro forma invoice. You are a true professional. I would not be surprised that my girlfriends and sisters ask for the same as soon as they will see me with the bag ;-) All the best, Yaa

At ANKA, we do not believe in the myth of predefined sizes. Each body is different and deserves an outfit just as unique. Therefore, to use this guide, we recommend using your measurements in inches (as explained below) rather than the "4 to 22" sizes.
From there you can select the corresponding international size for your order, and each seller will then be able to make sure to send the PERFECT fit for YOU!
How to measure ?
Collar size
Measure around the neck at the neck.
Chest size
Measure around your bust where it is wider by placing the tape measure under the arms and over the shoulder blades.
Waist size
Measure in the hollow of the waist.
Hip size
Keep your feet together and measure the widest part.
Crotch tower
