Orange outside, burnt orange inside, and the word Melanin written across her in script.

Melani is warm, outstanding and poppin' every day, just like the women who carry her.

Yolanda carries hers every day, not on occasion, and says the burnt orange inside gives her a warming feeling. The wallet and the charm come free with her until Sunday.

The Details

Every measurement, before you decide.

12.2 in 8.8 in 5.5 in deep
Measured across the widest points. Zip close; she stands on her own when she is filled, as in the photos. The long strap clips off.
Size
12.2 × 8.8 × 5.5 in (W31 × H22.4 × D14 cm). Room for a notebook, a book, sunglasses, your wallet and a lipstick, with space left over. A handbag for the whole day, not a tote.
The artwork
A woman with a high afro puff and big hoops, eyes closed, on an orange ground written over and over with the word Melanin and stamped MELANIN POPPIN'. Printed into the vegan leather across the front panel. The words MELANIN POPPIN' are part of the print.
Material
Premium vegan leather, soft in the hand, with black pebbled sides and base. Gold keepers on the handle tabs, a gold zip and gold feet under the base. Wipes clean.
Inside
Burnt-orange lining. A zip divider runs down the middle and splits her into two sides, with a deep pocket on each wall — four deep pockets in all. Zip close across the top.
Carry
Twin rolled top handles for the hand or the crook of the arm, plus a long strap on gold clips that comes off for the shoulder or crossbody.
Keeping her shape
Her sides are soft leather. Keep her filled when she is not in use and she stands on her own, as in every photo here; stored flat and empty, she can crease.
Shipping & returns
Ships from the USA. In-stock pieces leave the warehouse within one business day; pre-orders follow their batch window. Delivery in 2–8 business days, by the speed you choose at checkout. 30-day returns.
