Grommet Launch Conversation

Hi, I'm Mackenzie from Swahili African Modern. We're so excited our totes from Senegal are today's Grommet! I would love to answer any questions you may have about these colorful tote bags that are a favorite of tourists visiting West Africa.

What a wonderful idea for a tote bag. I do have a couple of questions: Does the bag have a top zipper or a magnet to close the bag? Does the bag have any interior pockets, example slip or zipper pockets to keep items safe and organized? Also, what is the actual size of the bag? And, finally what colors does the bag come in? Thanks

@celina Hi Celina! The bag does not have a closure, nor are there any interior pockets. All great ideas however! The size of the bag is 20" x 8" x 15" and it is available in pink, silver and blue. You can view images of the various colors by clicking the + symbol above in the BUY link.

@Mackenzie How are artists paid for their work? Do they get a share of the profits? Mary S

@Mary Hi Mary! We work with each of our artisan groups to come to an agreed upon cost per piece and they are in turn compensated for each piece produced. We factor the materials and labor cost into the final figure and offer fair payment, substantially higher than what they receive by selling in their local markets.
