The Traveller – Quilted 'Kitenge – Ayo-Joy' Oversized Travel Bag

For those who move with intention — and refuse to blend in.

The Traveller is a generously oversized free motion quilted shoulder bag, handcrafted from vibrant Kitenge fabric. Deep violet bleeds into pink and teal, scattered with hand-printed orange floral motifs that shift across the cloth. The result is a bag that's impossible to replicate — because no two pieces of this fabric fall the same way twice.

Inside, a considered finish: the interior is lined with Ayo Print — Ayo meaning Joy in Yoruba — a classic target-style wax print that turns the simple act of opening your bag into a small moment of delight.

The free motion quilting adds both structure and a luxurious tactile depth that sets it apart from anything mass-produced. This is a bag with craft at its core.

Capacity & careful use

Our bags and pouches can carry some weight, but they are not suitcases! Please do not overload or overstuff them, or force the zips or fasteners closed.

We do not offer repairs, exchanges or refunds for damage caused by overloading, overstuffing or misuse, including damage to zips and fasteners.

This does not affect your statutory rights if an item is faulty, not as described or otherwise fails to meet legal requirements.

The depth of colour in Kitenge fabric is best preserved with gentle care. Slight variations in print placement are inherent to handmade production — and part of what makes your piece entirely your own.
