The Akpa Tote is more than just a bag; it is a celebration of heritage, artistry, and sustainability. Inspired by the Igbo word ‘Akpa,’ which signifies ‘bag’ or ‘sack,’ this masterpiece pays homage to the essential role bags have played in Igbo culture as symbols of provision, preparation, and journeys. Traditionally, Akpa represented not only utility but also the careful stewardship of what is valuable—qualities that this tote embodies in every detail.
Hand-stamped with Udiri’s exclusive capybara footprint, the Akpa Tote is a work of art. Its padded design ensures comfort, while 100% cotton straps provide a durable yet lightweight carry. An invisible magnetic closure and an internal zipper pocket, adorned with Udiri’s signature hand-rolled bead crafted by IDP and refugee women, add layers of sophistication and functionality.
Designed for the discerning individual, the Akpa Tote balances timeless elegance with modern sustainability. Whether carrying your daily essentials, preparing for a journey, or making a bold statement, the Akpa Tote offers a luxurious companion that reflects both tradition and purpose.
Each piece is a testament to Udiri’s dedication to meaningful design, sustainability, and cultural storytelling, making the Akpa Tote not just an accessory, but an heirloom of thoughtful craftsmanship."
