Best every day bag!

Big enough to carry everything I need but sleek. It’s not bulky or heavy. So many pockets! So far I love everything about this bag.

Beautiful, practical and well constructed bag from a company with heart

I bought the large vegan sling in black about 5 years ago and it quickly became my go to bag for every day. It’s stylish and practical with a surprisingly big capacity for a relatively small bag. I can easily fit my wallet, mobile phone, sunglasses, readers and keys with room to spare for a cloth grocery bag, passports or other items. The bag came with me as we sailed across the pacific and traveled throughout Australia, New Zealand and SE Asia. It’s so well constructed that after all those miles it still looks like new. I love this bag so much that I wanted one in a brown tone so I had a bag that would work no matter what I was wearing. When I saw the deep chocolate brown bag I knew my search was over. I could not be happier with my new addition and am thrilled to be supporting a company with a social conscience making a positive impact.

Great crossbody bag!

First I love that this Company is a black women owned Company and that it supports disadvantaged women in Nairobi. This crossbody bag is perfect for everyday use. The pockets and zipper placements are well thought out. I feel safe walking the streets with this bag over my body. I bought the brown vegan leather bag which I loved so much, I decided to purchase one of their canvas crossbody bags also. The price is very reasonable and the customer service is great should there be a problem. They have a team in Chicago here in the States. The added feature of the different colored cloth in each bag all around the inside seam representing African colors is a plus! Buy this large crossbody bag, you won’t be disappointed! Come on Sisters, let’s support our less fortunate Sisters in the world and get a great product!

My Dream Bag

I had a vision in my head of my dream bag. I never searched for it, but I never really came across one that fit the bill. I stumbled upon Ecodunia’s booth at a street fest, and there it was - a reality before my eyes! The color is absolutely perfect, my all time favorite color. The fit is comfortable. It fits just enough stuff for the every day. AND! It’s vegan! I have had this bag for a year and I’ve worn it almost every day. It is still completely intact with no signs of wear and tear. Incredible quality! I highly highly recommend this. Cera is an amazing human and I will give her my support always! The only bags I’ll be buying from now on will be from her - I can’t wait to build my collection!

Perfect city bag

Saw this at 5 art fairs and finally bought and love it. It’s very versatile, with a nice number of pockets. Perfect for sock knitting transport and also fits an iPad.

I absolutely love this bag! The quality is amazing, and it’s quickly become one of my favorites. I also want to thank the young lady who helped me at the festival in Chicago last weekend. I can’t remember her name, but her customer service was excellent. She convinced me to give this bag a try, and I’m so glad she did. Highly recommend!

Wouldn’t mind getting another.

The beauty is in the details. A really tough yet elegant bag. Wouldn’t mind getting another in a different color.

Nice Bag/Good Size

I got this for dog walking and going to the park/beach. It's a perfect size for everything I need and front pockets is versatile for sunglasses or phone. The back zipper pocket is great for keys and wallet. Inside is large enough for daily dog needs but no so large I over pack. I would recommend this bag.

Large Canvas Crossbody Sling

It easily holds everything I need in my day-to-day outings, with the space inside well organiszed and not overwhelming like some bags. Super comfy with a wide range of adjustability and looks great too.

Love it

I bought my bag during a street fair. I had no idea the amazing background of this company at the the time. The bag itself is very sturdy and comfortable to wear. My wife wants one now too!

My New Favorite Everyday Bag

I bought the Sling Bag at a festival after it caught my eye, and it has quickly become my go-to everyday bag. The size is perfect … big enough to hold all the essentials without feeling bulky. The front pocket is great for a phone or holding sunglasses.

Awesome sling bag

The sling bag came very handy during my trip in Chicago. It had just enough room to hold what I need for the day...

Perfect for a day out while travel

This is the second bag I’ve gotten from Ecodunia. The first was the canvas bag and I got it to use for a safari trip to South Africa, it was perfect so naturally when looking for a day bag to take with me for a trip to Ireland Ecodunia was the first place I looked. The bag is the perfect size to use while you’re out and about during the day and the quality is fantastic. I would definitely recommend it as the perfect travel bag.

Excellent sling bag!

So well and thoughtfully made! Big enough for necessities, small enough that it doesn’t get in the way or feel heavy. Love the zippered compartment and back zippered pocket. Would highly recommend for around town or traveling.

Best travel bag

This bag is perfect for travelers - a discrete pocket for passports/cards, a front pouch for easy access to small items, and a large zipper area that holds quite a lot. I used this every day on a recent trip abroad and it was the perfect combination of big enough to be out for the day but not overwhelmingly large. Highly recommend!
