Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do these bags fit an iPad?
A: The Umoja, our large sling, fits a standard iPad and a 32 oz water bottle with room for everything in between. The Buru and compact styles fit a Kindle or small tablet — built for everyday essentials.
Q: Can you wear a sling bag front or back?
A: Yes — all EcoDunia sling bags wear comfortably front or back. Most people switch depending on the situation: front for easy access, back for comfort on longer carry.
Q: What's the difference between canvas and vegan leather?
A: Both are built to last — they just feel and wear differently. Our canvas is sourced from a small Verified Fair Trade co-op of cotton farmers. Like good denim, it ages with grace and looks better over time. Our vegan leather was originally engineered for upholstery — built for real use, wipes down easily, and works dressed up or down. Want a relaxed everyday look? Canvas. Want something that goes from casual to polished? Vegan leather.
Q: Are EcoDunia sling bags unisex?
A: All of them. The choice comes down to how you want to use the bag, what you need to carry, and the size that looks best on your body.
Q: Are these bags Verified Fair Trade?
A: Yes. Every EcoDunia bag is Verified Fair Trade and artisan-made in Nairobi — fair wages, safe working conditions, and responsibly sourced materials. Independently verified, not self-certified.
Q: What is your return and warranty policy?
A: We accept returns within 30 days on unused, resellable items. Every bag is backed by a one-year warranty against craftsmanship defects. View our return policy.
Q: Do you offer free shipping?
A: Yes — free shipping on orders over $50.
Q: Are you a local Chicago company? Can I pick up in person?
A: Yes — EcoDunia is based in Chicago and all US orders ship from here. If you prefer to skip the shipping, you're welcome to pick up your order in person at our offices at 5311 N. Kedzie Ave, Chicago, IL. We're available Monday through Friday, 10am–3pm. No appointment needed.
