These Tacky Towel Bags By Amina K x Kangaroo Are Sahel Summer Staples

Amina K - Egyptian sustainability pioneer and upcycling wizards - have struck again and this time they’re collaborating with none other than the local collaborative label ‘Kangaroo’. Not to digress too much but the collection positions itself so tentatively amongst our childhood memories. A harbinger for reworked garments and stand-out pieces, Amina K’s endeavour into the world of terry cloth is proving to be Egypt’s answer to the famed Prada terry cloth re-edition.


“We have designed an up-cycled collection made from your childhood towels,” Amina K tells SceneStyled. “Yes, those towels, remember the ones you were too embarrassed to use in front of your friends or the ones you would randomly find around the house because someone had forgotten them five years ago?”


The collection features a plethora of summer staples including but not limited to: The Tacky Towel bag that can be worn alongside that white dress that makes you feel like princess Diana holidaying at her Cornwall beach house. The Tacky fanny is the Sandbox festival piece you didn’t know you needed. The Mini Sunglass pouches which serve as the clumsy girlies’ bestie when it comes to protecting those Dior shades you stole from mama’s closet and the Pareo beach cover-ups are the ultimate lazy girl hack.


You can shop the full fluffy collection through aminak.net
