Sudan Tote
- Description
The Sudan Tote is more than an accessory; it’s a symbol of solidarity. 100% of the proceeds go directly to Sudan relief via the Sudanese American Physicians Association (SAPA) hunger-relief program — supporting communities in Sudan facing extreme food insecurity and crisis.
Crafted in a durable cotton canvas. The tote's design echoes the spirit of Sudan, from the country's outline, vibrant red inspired by the Sudanese flag, the baobab tree leaves and the statement “Thawrah” (ثَوْرَة) — Arabic for revolution; embodies the Sudanese people’s fight for freedom, dignity, and justice.
Originally created to be a part of our 2026 Ramadan Collection, we decided to release this piece now, because for millions in Sudan, relief cannot wait.
