This jewelry group features coins from around the world that are no longer in circulation. Artisans hand knot the necklace and bracelet cords with a durable waxy thread, and the earrings come with a card to explain the coins’ country and year of issue. Wear as a happy reminder of adventures-past or adventures-to-come!

burkina bangleUnique 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?

Highlighted above are some of our “Chichi” bags: all made of recycled huipiles (hand-woven and embroidered ladies’ blouses) from Chichicastenango, Guatemala. No two are the same!
