Collection: Bags

Mia Mélange cotton rope bags are ethically and sustainably handcrafted in our studio in Stellenbosch, just outside of Cape Town, South Africa. We believe in empowering women and creating opportunities. We are passionate about our local community and strive to create jobs for previously unemployed women in our area so that they can independently support them selves and their families. Mia Mélange believes in sourcing local, sustainable, high quality materials. Most of our products are made from 100% cotton rope. The cotton is grown locally in South Africa by farmers who are members of the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI). The yarns are spun in South African mills. The rope is braided locally in Cape Town. Our designs are inspired by a love for nature, texture, natural materials and ancient crafting techniques. We like to combine all of these to create modern and functional designs.
