SIGANNA | Echoes of the shield - Artisan African Ancestral Bags

A collection inspired by the shape and symbolism of ancestral African shields. 

For generations, shields represented protection, resilience, courage, and the determination to safeguard what mattered most. They protected families, communities, identities, and the hope of a better future. Their legacy continues to inspire this collection today.

Each bag reimagines the silhouette of the ancestral shield through contemporary design, transforming a historic symbol of defense into a modern expression of strength and self-expression.

The collection is built around eight values that many of us carry through life: Strength (Imara), Courage (Ujasiri), Protection (Usalama), Foundation (Msingi), Hope (Tumaini), Peace (Amani), Patience (Subira), and Worth (Thamani).

Today, our shields may look different, but we all carry things worth protecting; our peace, our dreams, our values, our loved ones, and our sense of self.

• Each bag is fully lined with durable denim for everyday use
• Features three interior channel pockets to help keep your essentials organized and within easy reach.
