Madam C. J. Walker Tote Bag

An Archives Store exclusive, we are delighted to offer this sturdy tote bag in celebration of the achievements of Madam C. J. Walker. Inspired by elements from her life and work, our design pays homage to the extraordinary accomplishments of Madam Walker. Born Sarah Breedlove, she was a daughter of enslaved people, who reimagined her life, and through drive and determination, became the first Black woman millionaire through her line of hair care products.

Centered around an illustration of the iconic Ford Model T owned by Madam Walker, and featuring the quote, “I got my start by giving myself a start”, the tote makes an inspirational gift or a nice piece for yourself while showcasing a truly remarkable life.
