Sarafina Coin Bag

The Sarafina Portrait Coin Bag

Small in size, but immense in character. The Sarafina Coin Bag is a miniature gallery piece designed for the soulful minimalist. This versatile essential is the perfect size for tucking away your earpods, a signature lip tint, essential medication, or your go-to smart cards.

Showcasing a poignant portrait by Lillian Gray, the Sarafina coin bag is an exercise in artistic balance. The design utilizes primary colors—red, blue, and yellow—rendered in softened hues. The result is a palette that feels classic yet gentle, offering a sophisticated take on traditional color theory. This aspect of style ensures your essentials are always wrapped in a soft, artistic glow.

The Meaning of Sarafina

The name Sarafina has a melodic history, rooted in the Hebrew Seraphina, meaning “Fiery Ones” or “Burning One,” referencing the highest order of angels. In a South African context, the name is iconic, representing the spirit of a revolutionary—symbolizing courage, leadership, and the voice of a generation. This portrait captures that duality: a “bright flame” of spirit tempered by a soft, graceful exterior. Carrying the Sarafina bag is a daily reminder of your own inner fire and the quiet strength you use to move the world.
