The fair genuine leather evening bag Lamu is a real eyecatcher. This evening bag is made from high-quality Zambian cow leather. This small and fine leather bag is decorated with beeds and brass elements. In this little leather bag there is a lot of love to the detail. The leather bag is not lined and it is open on top. This cute leather bag can comfotably be worn on the wrist. The fair bag is a nice accessory for a special evening. The nice thing about this leather bag is that the value addition chain mainly took place in Zambia (fairchain). The hides of Zambian cows were turned into high quality cow leather in Zambia and are also being turned into these beautiful leather bags just outside of the capital Lusaka.
We thank the craftmen and craftwomen for their creativity and good craftmenship. The fair evening bag Lamu is available in various beautiful colors.
This leather bag convinces through...
- Being fair and handmade
- Being made from fine Zambian cow leather
- Traditional craftmenship with a beautiful African ethno touch
Brand

Lightfoot (formerly Jackal & Hide) was founded by Gillie Lightfoot who had earlier created the brand Tribal Textiles. Gillie Lightfoot founded Jackal and Hide when she moved to Sugarbush Farm, an organic smallholding on the outskirts of Lusaka in Zambia. At the time Gillie wanted to establish a new, smaller workshop at home where she could return to being more hands-on and involved on a daily basis with craftsmen. At the same time she discovered a source of wonderful, locally tanned cowhides.
There existed virtually no manufacturing of leather goods in Zambia. Thus was born a great opportunity to train and work with a new team of tailors, and together, to design and craft a range of high quality hand bags and accessories with a unique African feel.
All the bags are unique pieces and adorned either with Gillie’s signature vegetable ivories, handpicked beads from across the globe, or “recycled” Angoni cow horn.
The bags are lined with hand painted cloth made by Tribal Textiles and all zips and fittings are imported for the very best quality and finish.
