This is not just a bag. Every time you carry it, you are helping send a child to school.
The Smateria Hip Bag is a sleek, colorful, beautifully functional bag made by artisans whose livelihoods — and whose children's futures — are supported by your purchase. A portion of every sale goes directly toward providing daycare and preschool for the artisans' children, giving the next generation the foundation they need to thrive. When you choose this bag, you are not just choosing style. You are choosing to be part of something that matters.
Compact, lightweight, and brilliantly organized, the Smateria Hip Bag is designed for the woman who is always on the move. Whether you are running errands, exploring a new city, heading to a farmers market, attending a festival, or simply want your hands free without sacrificing style — this is the bag for that moment. The adjustable strap gives you two ways to wear it: slung across the body as a crossbody bag, or cinched around the waist as a classic hip bag. Two looks, one beautiful bag, infinite occasions.
At 7.75" L x 9.5" H, the Smateria Hip Bag is perfectly sized — spacious enough to carry your phone, wallet, keys, lip balm, and daily essentials, compact enough to never feel bulky or cumbersome. Inside and outside pockets keep everything organized and instantly accessible — no more digging to the bottom of a bag to find your keys. Everything has a place, and everything stays there.
The Smateria Hip Bag is available in a stunning palette of 15 colors — each one vibrant, joyful, and full of personality:
Whether you gravitate toward the serene (Misty Blue, Lavender) or the vibrant (Coral, Persimmon, Turquoise), there is a Smateria Hip Bag that feels like it was made for you.
Smateria is a fair trade brand committed to creating dignified, sustainable livelihoods for artisans and their families. Every bag is handcrafted with care, and every purchase contributes directly to the community that made it — funding childcare and early education so that artisan families can work with peace of mind, knowing their children are safe, loved, and learning. This is the kind of purchase that feels as good as it looks.
"Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done." — Proverbs 19:17
