Black Melange Crossbody

Cesta Collective is a mission-based brand focused on a meaningful supply chain with integrity. The brand’s stunning baskets are handwoven by female artisans in Rwanda using locally sourced resources, then finished in Italy with sustainable materials. Cesta’s hope is to create economy in the developing world and to promote female empowerment through joyful, ethically made accessories.

In a unique, mod shape that is unlike your average bag, the Black Mélange Crossbody is our current obsession. Crafted from only the very best materials, this oblong pill-shaped basket is made from woven sisal with Italian Nappa leather at the strap, top flap, and knot closure. In classic black and multi-neutral shades that pair well with just about anything, we love to wear it with breezy linen dresses and flowing caftans to lean into the resort look, or with a boho blouse and gladiator sandals for a more casual everyday styling.
