This tote bag is hand-weaved by a master-artisan at the royal palace of King Agonglo, located in Abomey, the southern Benin. The yarn is produced exclusively in organic coton, using ancestral techniques, and dyed only in natural pigments formulated on site in a completely sustainable and environmentally conscious approach.

The 'Logozopka' cloth which means 'Turtle Shell' in Fon language, was first created at the time of Dahomey's ancestral Kingdom. Initially weaved predominantly either in ash or green, the pattern finds formed through a checkerboard of horizontal and vertical lines, that bears its resemblance to the carapace of one of Benin's most emblematic creature.
