A kiondoo is a handwoven handbag made from sisal with leather-based trimmings. It is indigenous to the Taita, Kikuyu and Kamba tribes of Kenya. These Kenyan weavers start by using stripping the Sisal plant's outer layers, leaving the plant still capable of grow. The weaver makes use of threads from the pale colored layers, which have dried out for a day, to make a bag. A design pattern is finalized. The weaver then boils the threads for use with water and dye sets the bag's colorings. Now the weaving begins. Two unmarried threads are twined to shape one robust thread. Many such threads are woven. It is from these threads that a sisal bag is made. It takes between  and three weeks to complete a bag. Most weavers ought to appearance after their households; therefore, weaving is accomplished whenever they have the time. Sometimes small beads and shells are woven into the kiondoo

Kiondoos are exported to western nations where they were and stay pretty famous.

The Swahili word for a kiondoo is 'chondo,' plural 'vyondo'.
