NEW PRODUCT: Rhodie Wear Chikwama

Comes in two sizes: Small for $14 and large for $18

Top closure made from Velcro and hangs around your neck from USA made nylon 550 paracord. Designed for security and convenience. The small one can accomodate a credit card and/or some cash and/or your car key or fob/remote. The larger one is designed to accomodate a passport or mobile phone.

BACKGROUND
The name Chikwama is from Shona meaning "bag" and "wallet". Pronounciation is Chi (as in chick) kwa (like quack) ma (as in drama). In Ndebele I believe the word is Isikwama and in Chinyanja (from Malawi) Thumba.

These words are derived from the respective languages' words for "skin" or "hide" which is of course what bags were made from (and some still are).
