Carry your affirmation wherever the day takes you. The "I Am Light" Woven Tote Bag features Sylvia "Gbaby" Cohen's radiant portrait of a Black woman crowned with a sunflower, her gaze steady and self-assured. The words "I Am Light" sit beside her, and a ring of affirmations wraps the lower design: always trust and believe, never doubt, love yourself, believe in yourself, be you unapologetically. It is a daily reminder of worth, woven into something you will actually reach for.
Made from Jacquard-woven cotton with a tapestry finish, this tote holds its color and detail wash after wash. The fully lined interior includes three secured pockets to keep your phone, wallet, and keys in order, and a top zipper closes it all in. Sturdy black woven straps carry a full load with ease, so you can move from the office to the market to a weekend away without missing a step.
At 17 inches by 17 inches, it offers room for essentials and then some: a laptop sleeve, a book, a water bottle, a change of clothes. Take it to the beach, to church, to the gym, or on the road. Wherever it goes, it carries a message of strength and Black beauty along with everything else.
Sylvia "Gbaby" Cohen is the founder of Gbaby and an artist known for bold, luminous images of women of color. Her "I Am Light" collection celebrates women who shine as guiding figures, glowing with an inner brilliance that sparks confidence and self-love. Carrying her work is a way to keep that light close.
