Fish Leather Keyfob · Dark Turquoise

This is Ambani's signature color: A dark turquoise, chrysocolla, the color of Lake Turkana, the biggest desert lake in the world. Also called "The Jade Lake".

Lanyard handcrafted from Nile perch skin at the edge of Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya - probably one of the most unusual handmade gifts from Africa you'll find.

Each one arrives slightly different. It's the nature of the material. Lightweight, open finish - the natural scale texture is tactile and raised, with a raw, matte feel. Stainless steel ring.

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