A user posted a photo of the designer bag and its offer price of Sh138,148 ($1,338) eliciting many reactions.

The designer tote bag is woven using straws similar to those used to weave baskets and mats in Kenya.

The bag that is designed by Dolce & Gabbana has crystal embellishments and a red fringe.
