This Shwe Shwe Cross-Body Cellphone Sling Bag blends bold Southern African textile heritage with modern, waste-saving design. The front-facing Shwe Shwe fabric adds colour and character, while the rest of the bag is made from soft upcycled indoor advertising banner material. Multiple clip points allow the bag to be worn in different ways, adapting to your comfort and style. Compact yet practical, it keeps your cellphone secure while offering space for everyday essentials.
Description
Designed for movement and everyday ease, this cross-body sling bag combines two distinct materials into one functional, stylish accessory. The front panel features traditional Shwe Shwe fabric, celebrated for its vibrant patterns and cultural significance. The body of the bag is constructed from reclaimed polyester banner material sourced from indoor advertising, giving discarded materials a second life.
The bag includes multiple clip locations—top middle, top left, and bottom right—allowing you to customise how it hangs across your body or shoulder. A secure front pocket closure helps prevent your cellphone from slipping out, while the back pouch is generously sized to fit an A6 notebook or similar small items. Finished with a long cord strap, this bag is lightweight, versatile, and designed for daily use.
Climate Impact
By upcycling indoor advertising banner material, this product diverts durable polyester from landfill and reduces the demand for virgin synthetic fabrics. Each bag represents a practical step toward a circular economy, extending the lifespan of materials that would otherwise be treated as waste. Small design choices like this collectively contribute to lower material-related emissions and reduced environmental impact.
Community Impact
This product supports local making and skills development by transforming waste materials into income-generating goods. Through production, communities gain practical sewing and fabrication skills while participating in meaningful, environmentally responsible work. Each bag tells a story of creativity, resilience, and opportunity—turning waste into both function and pride.
