Both works! The combination of robust cork and elegant ShweShwe patterns on our tote bags make this tote bag incredibly versatile.
Whether it's a hot summer's day and you need a beach tote, or you want to accessorize an everyday outfit, the AfriKat tote will make a unique and stylish statement.
Comfortable to carry
We love the cotton straps that we've used on these tote bags. The 4cm wide straps are super soft and comfortable, so they adjust to your shoulder wonderfully.
The cotton material won't sweat or itch your skin even on a hot day.
We love cork!
Not only is cork an environmentally friendly, renewable material and a perfect leather alternative, it is also water- and dirt repellent. That's why we think it's perfect as the base for our tote bag.
Cork is very resilient and gives our bags a robust yet warm charakter. It also helps the bag's base keep its shape really nicely.
With the colourful ShweShwe cottons
AfriKat is the fusion of my love for climbing and my childhood spent in South Africa.
The vibrant cotton prints will convince you not just through their unique colour combinations, but also with their sturdy feel.

Care instructions
Material information
- ShweShwe cottons are printed using traditional printing methods. This gives the fabric a characteristic feel and smell, which will disappear after the first wash. To retain the characteristic stiffness of the fabric, we do not pre-wash the fabrics for production. This means that washing your bag MAY result in fabric shrinkage of up to 8%. Although the fabric in itself is perfectly washable, it is for this reason that we recommend surface cleaning or at most, a cold hand wash, to remove any stains.
- This product is a combination of cotton and fleece fabrics. Both have a certain degree of permeability so that over time, some chalk bay permeate through the fabric. This is not regarded as a product defect.
Care instructions
- We recommend surface cleaning with cold water and mild soap to remove any stains
- Do not iron cork
- Iron cotton on lowest setting
- Do not tumble dry
- Do not bleach or treat chemically
- Do not dry clean
General care instructions
- Keep away from fire and other strong heat sources
- Keep away from oils; stains such as cream can be removed using soap and cold water
