Mama says: Put a Pouch on!

Perfect for any occasion- the extended collection–POUCHES!

Who doesn’t need a little story, or how about a little pouch? Now you get both in the Adinkra story-pouches with an interesting Adinkra symbol as a fascinator for your pouch. So whether it’s a quick way to find your cellphone (slim to iPhone size) in the ever expanding backpacks, courier bags and purses that we find ourselves carrying– we all need a little pouch every now and again. West African Adinkra symbol influences are part of my original designs for dry-land ‘story pouches’. Their cousins the ‘his/hers Bath-Body pouch’ is for wet-land uses from face to full body contact. They’ll go wherever you need them (sink-side to pool-side in the shower & bath).

Adinkra ‘story pouches’ background info–

The Akan, then later Asante, people (Ghana/Côte d’Ivoire) created the adinkra symbols which incorporate their philosophies, folk-tales and culture. They represent popular proverbs and maxims, record historical events, express particular attitudes or behaviour related to depicted figures, or concepts uniquely related to abstract shapes.
