This blue ,green and white floral handbag is made by the ladies of iBhungezi and intuitively enhanced both back and front with beadwork.  The strong cotton bag has striped webbed handles, a magnetic closure and is lined with a with a green/blue satin with an inner pocket. 
The sixe is 29cm wide by 25cm high by 9cm deep.  Handles 62cm long.

The bag is made by the ladies of the iBhungezi project.  iBhungezi is a Zulu word meaning "Ladybird" The ladybird was chosen as a symbol for this bag-making project because it signifies colour, life and vibrancy.  Not only has iBhungezi helped to bring employment and hope to the communities of Lower Molweni and Umgababa, but it has given a wonderful platform to these residents to express their creative beading abilities! I love the fact that their workshop happens on the side of the beautiful St Agnes Church auditorium, providing a large, airy environment and using space that would otherwise stand empty for most of the week.
