Behind the Scenes: How Ortish Creates the Perfect Kitenge Bag

To make one of their beautiful kitenge bags, it all starts with the fabric. The sisters work with local tailors to source high-quality materials in a variety of colors and patterns. Once they have the fabric, they cut and sew it into shape, paying careful attention to detail. The bags are lined with a waterproof material to keep contents dry, and they're fitted with strong straps that can withstand a lot of wear and tear.

The final step is the most important: each bag is filled with love. The sisters take care not to skimp on quality, because they know how important it is for kids to have a bag that will last. They want every child who carries one of their bags to feel special, confident, and proud.
