This backpack transports your essentials, then transforms into a lined blanket or mat to keep you grounded on the go. These are perfect for prayer, meditation, yoga, picnics, festivals, and those cool moments outdoors.
These Ban Bags are crafted in Senegal, using traditional mudcloth sourced from Mali. In Bambara - a language spoken in Mali - Bogolan means “with mud”, which describes the designing of this plant-based cloth. The patterns presented often represent protection, nature, community and courage, and the process requires patience, intention, collaboration and care.
We encourage each recipient of these care packages to engage them with the same energy with which they were created.
The specific patterns and color combinations on each bag will vary as these crafts are not mass produced. However you may indicate a color preference and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
