Kenya

Fish Leather Keyfob · Red · Open Finish

€39,00

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.
