Mwanzo: the beginning



Your netbook connects your world – from the memories that tell your story to the plans that forge your future. As you take it on your journey, protect it in style with the Mwanzo netbook case, the very first product we created that set our artisans on the beginning of a new journey.

This mini laptop / netbook case will hug your netbook to guarantee protection from bumps and scratches. With double zippers, you can zip it up or open in from anywhere you want, making it extremely accesible for to take out quickly. Or better yet, use the corner straps, you’ll be able to quickly open and use your laptop without ever needing to take it out of the case.



Collaborating with several artisans in Kenya, this unique case has been designed with all materials purchased locally. The exterior casing consists of a natural burlap material, typically used in Kenya to make decorative handbags. The patterned cloth lining is a material specifically worn by the Masai – Kenya’s most traditional tribe. The center logo is the hand-embroidered shape of Kenya filled with its flag, stamping your laptop case with its story.



Please check the dimensions of your netbook to ensure it will fit in the case.
