Aida's Tiger Tote Bag

This extraordinary, blue Tote Bag is made by Khama & designed by Aida. It is no ordinary tote bag for it has an exceptionally large heart. In order to create this collection Khama collaborated with fashion, fair trade & London street artists. The company also collaborates with micro-enterprise projects in small villages in Malawi. They use locally sourced & recycled materials to make these limited edition bags. Through this project they hope to challenge our perceptions of fair trade products & provide the women who make them sustainable employment. All the women are shareholders in the business & benefit from training & development projects. The original artwork for this bag is designed by Aida. A political refugee from the Middle East in the early 80’s, Aida works under the umbrella brand of ‘The Glorious House of Brag’, which includes, aidaprints.com – a website showcasing her limited edition prints & clothing range, as well as running an independent print house which offers artist editions & a consultancy service. One of her favourite motto’s is “I will sleep when I am dead.” The bag is screen-printed by hand in Malawi, using contrasting colours. It has a black back, black handles & the handle drop is 23cm. It is 48cm x 40cm x 15cm.

Thanks to the lovely Elaine, we have our very own Malawian Khama Army at this Circus. Despite all the hullabaloo at HQ, they remind us of what’s really important in life. They also help us to do our bit for the environment by making all our very special tote bags, which are available on site to carry all the Circus merchandise you can carry! Alternatively they are available on line through The Big Top Shop, so grab one while you can & give something back to our wider community.
