IT STARTED IN 2013. 

Attending a wedding in Nairobi, Kenya in 2013, guests were given a selection of locally crafted goods including a wonderful bag.  Once back home, I started using the bag (this blue one pictured)

whenever heading to the

shops as I soon realised

how amazing this bag

really was.  It carries an

amazing amount, is

lightweight and easily fits

in a pocket. 

 

After a few months of use,

I thought I'd like another bag

as it was much better than all the tote bags I had been using for shopping.  I also thought I should get some for friends and family.  To my surprise they were not readily available but my friend, Ash, in Nairobi had a few extras to send me.  Friends and family confirmed how brilliant they also found the bags, so working with Ash - the founder of  Maasai Treads (who make fabulous shoes made from old car tyres)  - and their team of artisans, we've created The Kikoi Sling Company to make these wonderful bags available to all, while expanding the skillset and opportunities of the Maasai Treads team.

​

Thank you for giving our Kikoi Sling a try.  We're sure it will be a trusty companion to you for years to come.
