Bags
Global Luxury. African Soul.
Honest everyday bags, finished like house pieces.
Carry is the everyday half of the house: an insulated food bag, a woven market tote, a foldaway shopper and a canvas shoulder bag. World materials, one African weave, the gold Z — unity, identity and excellence in the bags you actually use.
Fashion is temporary. Identity is forever.

Story behind the design
Ntomi mudcloth in teal & sand, worked into the signature band.
teal & sand
ZB-NTOM-TEA-643
Bogolanfini begins as hand-woven cotton strip cloth, joined selvedge to selvedge before it ever meets the dye. It is dyed with a n'gallama leaf bath, then river-mud fermentation over three passes — the pattern is not printed on, it is drawn in mud and then the ground around it is lifted away.
The tape carries fanned chevrons opening from a spine. In the Bamana reading, Ntomi is the shade tree — gathering, welcome, shelter for others. Z-Vibe keeps the motif at heritage scale rather than shrinking it into a logo pattern, so the hand of the maker stays legible on the finished piece.
Mudcloth is placed on construction points, never scattered as decoration: signature band. These are the lines the eye already follows on this silhouette, so the cloth reads as structure — an edge, a facing, a seam — and holds its meaning at three metres and at arm's length alike.
Each length is block-matched panel to panel — the atelier discards any length where the repeat cannot be aligned. Tape width and motif repeat are cut to the size band, so a petite run and an extended run carry the same proportion rather than the same measurement.
African heritage, global luxury, future design: the mudcloth is set against European finishing and the aged-gold Z-Closure™ mark. Nothing is erased on either side — the meeting is the design. Different Roots. One Human Story.
Care · Spot-clean the mudcloth with cool water and a soft cloth. Dry-clean the body of the piece; the tape is colour-set but not bleach-safe.
Each step below reflects work that actually exists for this piece. Refinement is a design process — it does not imply the piece is production-released.
Owner-approved design board intakeIn progress
Registered from the collection register entry; the full design board is still being filed.
Z-Sole Architecture™ assignmentComplete
Sole identity resolved for this style — Z-Grip™ Carry Cut (ZG-2601) on the Z-Grip™ lugged rubber chassis, longitudinal rail flutes with a scalloped braking heel, tapered aerodynamic last with a raked heel breast, stack 22 mm heel / 18 mm forefoot, 4 mm drop, laced in narrow Bogolan ribbon lace with a hand-knotted stopper, diamond Z at the lateral wall, Z-VIBE at the medial wall. Tread, last and stack height were made unique to the shoe rather than shared across the register.
Bogolan signature verificationComplete
Mudcloth was confirmed as a construction detail (laces, panel, tongue or heel band) and not surface print, and the aged-gold Z-Closure™ mark was placed.
