Meet Duara - The Circle School Bag

Duara means 'circle' in Swahili, and this vibrant school bag is a celebration of bold geometry. With her striking kitenge print in deep green, black and sunny yellow — featuring playful, eye-catching circles — Duara brings energy and joy to every school day, shopping trip, and city adventure.

This bag is lovingly handmade in our atelier in Mtwara, where women are given the opportunity to learn the craft. The bold circles were chosen for the way they dance across the fabric — like the sun rising over the Tanzanian plains, bright yellow against the deep green and black of the landscape. Each Duara bag is made with care and precision, combining traditional techniques with a modern, graphic look.

Compact yet spacious (37 cm high × 43 cm wide × 16 cm deep), with a 36.5 cm handle drop and a handy interior D-ring to clip your keys to — Duara is ready for whatever the day brings.

Perfect for: School days, shopping trips, city adventures, and anyone who dares to stand out.
