Since beginning my internship with Indego Africa, I have really enjoyed seeing the beautiful handicrafts that the women at the cooperatives have made. I have always had an interest in handmade products, and after I graduated I decided to start on a little venture of my own. My first step was joining Etsy - an online marketplace for artists similar to Ebay. My second step was to photograph and post my items. I imagined this would be a relatively simple task - I was wrong. It ended up being a constant battle to avoid shadows, get better camera angles, and keep a steady hand. After many failed attempts, and awkward photos, I realized the difference between a good photo, and a GREAT photo: A Tripod!
So, as Indego Africa's sales and marketing intern, and amateur photographer, I am happy to announce our new line of Tripod Bags (CLICK HERE TO SHOP AND LEARN MORE)! The amazing women at our partner coops, Cocoki, make each bag using traditional Dutch wax cloth, which feature stunning African prints, padding to ensure protection, a drawstring closure for easy accessibility, and a strap that runs the length of the bag for convenient transport. Whether you're a professional photographer, or an amateur like myself, our distinctive tripod bags are the perfect way to store and carry your tripod.- Crissy Vicendese, Summer 2010 Sales & Marketing Intern
