Cutwork with a playful touch

A tote bag inspired by “Mercato,” the largest market in Africa. At first glance, it has a minimalist shape, but when items are placed inside, the appearance changes as the contents can be seen through the mesh-like cutwork details across the surface. This playful design is made possible by Ethiopian sheepskin, which has exceptional strength for sheep leather.

Cutwork with a playful touch

A balance of toughness and lightness

To enhance durability, two layers of the finest Ethiopian sheepskin have been luxuriously bonded together. While maintaining a light appearance, it is designed with the strength to securely support your belongings. The soft, fluffy handles help reduce pressure on the hands and shoulders, providing a comfortable and lightweight carrying experience.

A balance of toughness and lightness

More storage capacity than it appears

Spacious enough to comfortably fit a water bottle and a foldable umbrella. Inside, there is one large pocket, convenient for keeping items you want to access quickly, such as a smartphone or business card holder.

Nile Breeze
The sparkling surface of the water. The wind blowing endlessly. The vivid turquoise blue color is inspired by the refreshing and comforting scenery of the Blue Nile.

Ivory
A neutral color that is versatile. It is a soft ivory with a slight cream tint rather than pure white.

Melty Chocolate
The rich, deep color and melt-in-your-mouth smooth sheen of African chocolate. This dark brown color is inspired by such enchanting chocolate.

Nile Black
A deep black with a faintly glowing blue tint, reminiscent of the night of the Nile, andu amet's dedication. It is an intelligent and mystical black.

Attention

Andu amet’s products use original leather that is finished in a method -one that does not use coating with pigments, and instead is finished so that it is close to the original, leaving the natural texture of leather- to enjoy the texture and feeling of the finest Ethiopian sheepskin. This might leave color unevenness and small scratches, or cause color transfer and fading at times.

Because this product does not use a lining, it may be more susceptible to color transfer than ordinary products. Please take care especially on days with high humidity, or when you put in light-colored items.
