Cowrie & Compass Back Pack

Cowrie & Compass Backpack — Sun Yellow

The Cowrie & Compass Backpack is a map, a prayer, and a statement—wrapped in sunlight. Drenched in a bold ancestral yellow, this piece carries a repeating pattern of cowrie shells and compass roses, merging ancient African economies with the universal language of movement and direction.

Cowrie shells once held real value across West and Central Africa—currency, protection, fertility, and blessing. Here, repeated across the surface, they transform the backpack into a talisman for abundance and flow. Interwoven among them, the compass represents migration, navigation, and self-determination—the knowing that no matter where you are, you carry direction within you.

The silhouette is clean and functional, designed for daily movement and long journeys alike. Built to hold weight without losing form, it’s made for travelers, creatives, students, and builders of new worlds. The yellow colorway symbolizes wealth beyond money: sunlight, clarity, optimism, and inherited power.

This backpack is not just meant to carry your belongings—it’s meant to bless what you carry.

For those who move with intention.
For those guided by ancestors and instinct.
The Cowrie & Compass Backpack points you forward.
