Checkered Sling Bag in Mustard

Slouchy, spacious, and made from authentic African mud cloth hand-woven and naturally dyed in Mali, the Checkered Sling Bag is the kind of hands-free carryall that goes everywhere and looks better for it.

The bold geometric check is woven into the fabric itself — not printed — using a centuries-old Malian tradition called Bogolan, in which cotton is dyed with fermented mud and natural botanicals in a process that is as environmentally grounded as it is visually striking.

ABOUT JENNA BEE

Jenna Bee was founded in 2015 by Jenna Cady, who started the brand at 19 years old with a love of sewing and a habit of shopping flea markets instead of fabric stores.

As the brand has grown, so has Jenna's sourcing practice — she now curates materials directly from markets and artisans across the world, including Portugal, Morocco, Spain, and Italy, bringing back textiles with genuine provenance and handmade character that no two bags are exactly alike.

The earthy, bohemian spirit of every Jenna Bee piece tells the story of where it came from — thoughtfully made, ethically sourced accessories designed to accompany you everywhere.
