ADINKRA TOTES
FIRST EDITION ADINKRA TOTES
Cotton tote bags featuring Ghanaian Adinkra symbols, screen-printed by hand in Sydney, Australia.
A returning favourite, Suban is loved for its intricate African-inspired motif, fan-like rhythm, and timeless sense of tradition. Bold, recognisable, and richly patterned, it brings cultural texture and enduring beauty to the capsule.
Ivory Garden was chosen for its softness and restraint. I have always loved prints that find beauty in the natural world without becoming overly loud, and this one does exactly that. The florals feel gentle, minimal, and detailed. It is a print that speaks to the love of everyday beauty, the way ordinary things like petals, leaves, and linework can become something calming, useful, and lovely to live with. Ivory Garden brings a softer note to the capsule while still holding the same sense of intention as the other prints.
Soft, washable, and designed without rigid inserts, our Everyday Pouches are made for flexible everyday use, from makeup and stationery to travel essentials and keepsakes.

Chosen for its retro coffee imagery and old-world feel, Roast brings warmth, nostalgia, and everyday familiarity into the capsule. It is a print that feels storied, practical, and full of character.
Orchard was chosen for the beauty of the olive and all that it carries with it. The olive is one of those rare everyday things that feels both ordinary and symbolic. It is present in food, skincare, ritual, and memory. I have always been drawn to what olives represent, cultivation, usefulness, abundance, and a kind of understated elegance. This print honours not just the object itself, but the aesthetic world around it. Orchard turns something humble and familiar into a piece that feels thoughtful, grounded, and beautiful to carry.
