Sweet and stylish crossbody bag with oval base and adjustable strap - a very practical size.
The bag features fabric designed by Clare Jongmin, an artist from Wadeye, Northern Territory, and it was hand-printed by women in the community.
Fully lined with external zip to close, a rear pocket with zip (shown) and internal zip pocket too.
The strap is long enough to make it a cross-body bag or worn over the shoulder. Very well constructed with brass fittings. The final photo shows someone holding a Nancy Bag to show scale.

The fabric was designed and hand-printed in Wadeye by Aboriginal women then beautifully crafted by our fair trade partners, in Cambodia. Wadeye is also known as Port Keats.

Please note that each bag is unique and the placement of the fabric design is different and wonderful on each item.
