The Bag Affair

No Long Story ! This week our focus is on DFL bags.

Design for Love has been on a long ride of making varieties of Ankara bags since inception, and we see customers who boast of owning a bag for more than 10 years. The question is; What makes these bags so durable and how can one find the one that suits his/her style?

First, DFL bags are made from locally sourced high-quality materials of Ankara, Batik or Aso-Oke fabrics, leather and woven webbing straps with solid wood handcrafted handles to give them reliable balance.

Afterwards, the materials are sewn in the factory by well-trained designers while the outer embellishments/materials are handcrafted. There are no doubts on the originality of these bags as they represent everything African and dynamic with keen and profound attention to even the smallest details.

On which fits each individual styles and what they look like, I am going to be identifying each one with their names and pictures below and also giving a brief, concise detailed explanations on every one of them.

Note that DFL bags run under the categories of clutches, laptop bags and tote bags.
