- This charming bag is designed specifically for late teenage girls, featuring a unique V-shaped silhouette that distinctly signifies its feminine appeal. Adorned with playful bells and embellished with beaded black shoelace drawstrings, it resonates with youthful energy and style. Known as a sweetheart bag, it holds great significance in the umtshotsho traditional dance, where teenage girls use it to showcase their vibrant spirit and personality. The combination of its eye-catching design and cultural relevance makes it a favourite accessory for those looking to stand out.
