Riddle Riddle**

You can take me anywhere, anyhow with anywho. I am small and addictive  because I will be your soulmate, carry with me all your essentials and I am for keeps. I am not here to take a part, am here to take over.

I am small/tiny. I am 5 inches wide, and 7 inches long. What am I?

I am your Pouch limbag

The interconnected weaved patterns are inspired by the traditional Rwandan mat called “Ikirago”

Kintsugi limbags are made with the primary intention of being environmentally conscious and making the earth greener by putting harmful waste to use. Our artisans repurpose the dumped pairs of jeans into world-class quality bags. Denim fabrics (fabrics that make jeans) are one of the least eco-friendly clothing fabrics. Though they are harmful, jeans remain the cornerstone of just about any wardrobe. Hundreds of millions of them are produced and sold every year, that’s why AFLIMBA took the initiative of extending the life of their waste by repurposing them into bags. PURCHASING A KINTSUGI LIMBAG IS SAVING THE PLANET ONE BAG AT A TIME.
