Pronounced "meelee" these hooked rug bags are handcrafted from recycled cotton and employ the age-old and time consuming craft of hooked rugging. Each Mielie bag is a work of art and makes a unique statement. This sturdy laptop or messenger bag has a tortoise design in the colours of African savannah in shades of deep red, brown, mustard and orange. Each bag is lovingly handmade and signed by the sewer. It features two adjustable leather buckles and an adjustable leather carry strap and will accommodate a 15" laptop. The inside is lined with red polka dot fabric. Dimensions: 16"W X 12" H
The name mielie was chosen because of the texture of the bags material when woven and mielies (corn) are also an integral part of many South Africans diets.
