Nathi Coin Bag

The Nathi Portrait Coin Bag

Small in size, but immense in character. The Nathi Coin Bag is a spirited companion designed for those who believe that even the smallest accessories should make a statement. This tactile piece of art is perfectly sized for your favorite lipstick, essential medication, or your contactless payment cards.

Featuring a dynamic portrait by Lillian Gray, the Nathi coin bag is filled with colour contrast. The design resonates with a bold mix of reds, pinks, and oranges, which offset subtle blue accents. It’s a tiny powerhouse of style that ensures your essentials are always encased in a high-contrast, artistic landscape.

The Meaning of Nathi

The name Nathi is a shortened version of the Zulu name Siyanathi, which translates to “He/She is with us” or simply “With Us.” It is a name that signifies community, togetherness, and presence. This portrait captures that sense of connection—a gaze that feels present and grounded. Carrying the Nathi bag is a daily reminder that you are never alone on your journey and that you carry the strength of your heritage with you.
