This Handbag is handcrafted with needles and traditional dyed Imigwegwe plant threads.
Imigwegwe (emmy-gway-gway) is the Kinyarwanda word for the sisal fibers extracted from Agave leaves. Imigwegwe is used for weaving all kinds of products in Rwanda; from the cultural baskets, to traditional Intore headdresses, all the way down to, very practical, rope for livestock.
