THE MOUSKA BAG: A Smile You Can Wear

Introducing the MouskaBag:

RAI’s newest handcrafted belt bag made from repurposed vinyl banners and premium fabrics. Inspired by the Pashto word "مسکا"(Mouska), meaning "smile," this bag was named by one of our artisans to reflect both the shape of the design and the joy it brings.

Each bag is one-of-a-kind, combining sustainability, function, and a story of resilience stitched into every detail. With a durable vinyl interior and an outer layer made from thoughtfully selected textiles, Mouska is perfect for everyday adventures—from daily commutes to travel days.

Why You’ll Love Mouska

  • Easy to clean, sturdy, and sustainable.
  • Handcrafted by refugee and immigrant women in Seattle.
  • Each fabric tells a story. No two bags are alike.
  • Wear it crossbody, around the waist, or over the shoulder.
  • Your purchase supports women’s economic mobility and diverts waste from landfills.
