The Lesedi Sling Bag

The Lesedi Portrait Sling Bag

Make a profound statement with the Lesedi Sling Bag, a wearable tribute that blends high-fashion utility with deep cultural storytelling.

Featuring one of Lillian Gray’s most glowing and emotive portraits, this bag is a celebration of life, color, and heritage. The “Lesedi” portrait is rendered in a sun-drenched palette of predominant pinks, layered with luminous yellows and pops of orangy-red, ensuring that your appreciation for fine art is visible from a mile away.

The Heart of the Artwork: Lesedi

In Sesotho, the name Lesedi translates to “The Light.” This piece is more than a fashion choice; it is a reflection of illumination and clarity. By carrying this bag, you carry the spirit of hope and the radiant, sun-kissed energy that Lillian Gray’s portraiture represents.

Handcrafted Detail & Heritage

What makes each Lesedi bag truly special is the surprise waiting inside. No two bags are identical.

• The Shweshwe Secret: Each bag is lined with authentic Shweshwe material. Known as the “denim of South Africa,” this traditional fabric adds a layer of cultural history to the piece.

• One-of-a-Kind: Because we use different Shweshwe prints for every lining, your bag features its own unique interior pattern—a private piece of art just for you.
