Tan vegan leather, chocolate base, a headwrap and a map of Africa cut from leather and stitched on by hand, maroon inside. Fits an iPad, a notebook and your whole day — not a laptop.

170 women reserved Dunia before a single one had shipped.

In her words

Six women, six ordinary days, one whole world.

  • Cool blue 6am light at an airport gate, the tan Dunia backpack upright on the seat beside her with a boarding pass tucked under the top handle, no wallet in frame.
    ★★★★★

    Worth the wait, first trip proved it

    I ordered her in the presale and waited for the October run like everybody else. First trip out was a 6am gate at Hartsfield, coffee in one hand, her on my shoulder. Boarding pass, iPad, cardigan, snacks for the flight, all in with room to spare. She went under the seat as my personal item and nobody said a word.

  • Flat white office light against pale wall panels, the tan Dunia backpack hanging off the back of a desk chair with an iPad leaning against it, no wallet in frame.
    ★★★★★

    iPad fits, laptop does not

    The listing says iPad not laptop and I read that twice before I ordered. My work laptop lives in a dock on my desk anyway. iPad, planner, badge, lunch and a water bottle all went in, and she hangs off the back of my chair against these white office walls looking like something I picked up on a trip.

  • Golden hour on stone church steps, the tan Dunia backpack worn on one shoulder as she turns to talk to someone off frame, no wallet in frame.
    ★★★★★

    Stopped on the church steps

    Wore her to second service and a lady I have never met stopped me on the steps after and said, excuse me, where did you get that bag. I told her the name twice and she put it in her phone. Late sun on the tan leather and the map cut into the front, that is the part people look at.

    The little wallet held me over

    Nayo came first, that same week, and honestly she held me over until the backpack shipped on the October run. Small, black, quilted, two gold charms on her, my cards and my ID fit, and she sat on my kitchen table in the morning light next to my tea. The Asili charm went on my keys till the bag landed. Now all of it leaves the house together every day.

  • Hard noon sun on a downtown sidewalk, shot from behind as she walks with the tan Dunia backpack on both straps and the leather map on the front facing camera, no wallet in frame.
    ★★★★★

    My coworker took this downtown

    She walked behind me on our way to lunch and took the picture because she said the bag turns people around. It is the map cut out of the leather that everyone asks about first, then the maroon inside when I open the top. Noon sun downtown and nothing about her looked cheap next to the real handbags. 🤎

    For my mother's birthday

    I opened everything on my living room floor to check it before I wrapped it. The backpack, the little quilted wallet and the leather Africa charm sitting together, it reads as one planned gift, not three things I grabbed. My mother has carried everybody in our family for forty years. This year she gets something built for carrying.
