This bag was inspired by Lake Kivu which borders Rwanda and the Congo in Africa. The unique shape of this lake was discovered while visiting an island called Iwawa. I was the first woman to ever step foot on this island! Although it is a place of rehabilitation for men with hard pasts, I saw it as a place of redemption. When we visited, we brought Bibles and shared our story. 900 of the 1,200 men came to know Jesus Christ that day & went from being named criminals to God’s sons. The Kivu bag is a representation of that experience and memory that I will never forget.
Besides the great memories, Here’s what I love about the Kivu Bag… It can fit so much and is the perfect daily bag when you have a lot to carry. I love the super wide opening; if you lay it flat you can see all the way into the bag and all contents inside. The leather is also very soft, comfortable and lightweight.
How do I wear it? This bag is a great neutral and I wear it with anything from jeans to dresses.
