Unique Batik sells Burkina Bangles that are crafted in Ghana from grass reeds and recycled plastic cord. Lightweight and cheery, they look great in a stack on your arm.
The image at the top is from the Unique Batik wholesale website. It shows a suggested retail price of $5 for one Burkina Bangle. The bottom image from a major online retailer shows the same bangle for $48.
Striking difference? Yes. Does it matter? Maybe not. What do you think?
How can you not smile when you look at these bags? The employees here at Unique Batik are split about 50/50 between thinking they are a little juvenile and wanting one for themselves (we are all over 24 years old). Each bag is handmade in Ghana from recycled flour sacks. The flour is manufactured in Ghana and is shipped out to bakeries, then the bakers are handing the bags over to our artists to start dying and sewing. Each sack is 100% cotton and is a decent amount of fabric that would normally go to waste. Here is a video from the flour factory where the sacks come from. And below are some photos we took in Ghana of those involved in the process.
Here at Unique Batik we are 100% inspired by color. So, when we saw the map posted above floating around on Pinterest, we decided it was just too pretty not to share with all of you! Hope you have a very happy weekend and please follow us on Pinterest…or Facebook!
