Conspicuous consumption is our thing.  But we’re not talking gold-toned logos and flashy labels.  We’re talking proud representation, gorgeous prints and statement-making pieces.  Just because it may not be socially acceptable to flaunt your monetary wealth doesn’t mean that you have to shy away from flaunting your cultural bounty.  Accordingly, we heart these fabric bags, courtesy of Sasaako designs, by way of the UK.  Inspired by African aesthetics, Sasaako gives shoppers the opportunity to customize their own bags.  Pick from four different shapes-the Beach bag (which we’re partial to), the Shopper (so much cuter then burlap-sack looking shoppers), the Mini-shopper and the Tote.  Once you’ve decided on what shape tickles your fancy, its time to find the print that moves you.  We find the Chameleon print from Ghana ethereal and versatile, and the Autumnal print (also from Ghana) perfect for a muted, vintage feel.  Then its on to the strap-choose from fabric or black.  Order, give the artisans ten days to make your item, then wait anxiously for your package to arrive.   Visit Sasaako for more information.
