Fish Leather Bracelet · Red · No. II

€35,00

Yes, that texture is fish leather :) Handcrafted from Nile perch skin at Lake Turkana, Northern Kenya. Substantial, smooth, and probably one of the most unusual handmade gifts from Africa you'll find.

Outside: red fish leather with a natural scale pattern, polished finish. Inside: soft goatskin for a comfortable fit.

Buying this bangle goes straight to Ira and James's workshop at Lake Turkana where fishing became a lifeline after years of drought.
