one better - multi colored, wider bangle
This piqued my curiousity (see post on top of this one). These are like Madonna ‘goomie’ bracelets in glorious African colors. Who were the women behind them -and how could I make them available from the artisan to your doorstep? I happened upon the story of Rose Bere, a woman from Burkina Faso, just south of Mali, who leads a group of women in making bracelets from cast-off plastic woven rugs. You can buy these amazing similar cuffs and give back to a company that is a member of such reputable organizations as Fair Trade Federation, Coop America, Social Venture Network, and the Aid to Artisan Trade Network through One World Artisans.
Price:
- $2.50 / narrow bracelet
- $3.50 / bangle
More Mali stars..
