African Beaded Cell Phone Holder Bag Blue Orange Long Shoulder Strap Handcrafted South Africa
This beautiful shoulder bag/clutch/cell phone holder was originally made as a cell phone holder by Xhosa women in a Township in South Africa. As art and beauty are in every aspect of life in Africa, when the need for cell phone holders/carriers became apparent, the women began using their traditional tribal beading techniques and designs to make these bags beautiful as well as functional. The long strap can be worn on one shoulder, or over the head with hands free. It's just right for lipstick and keys along with a cell phone.
The colorful turquoise blue, orange, brown, black and white beads are beaded and sewn into this design to form a wearable art. There is no lining and the bag is all beads.
The vivid colors glazed beads are not quite captured in this photo so if you like this, you will love the bag.
This bag dresses up an evening outfit and is quite unique to carry with jeans.
