Item Description

HIMBA COLLECTION


HI-03: Himba Carved Bracelets - LARGE Color/pattern varies
Material: Upcycled PVC

PVC bracelets made from PVC piping are an alternative to elephant Ivory.

Himba Bracelet: These bracelets were traditionally fashioned from elephant ivory, but today these bracelets are sustainably and ethically crafted from repurposed PVC water pipe instead. The piping is cut by hand into various sizes, and decorated with a hand carved cheetah design.
 

The Himba peoples if Northern Namibia are considered to be some of the last semi-nomadic indigenous people of the country. Himba continue to wear these items as symbols of rich cultural tradition, worn by men and women to indicate status within their communities. Himba jewelry is crafted from locally sourced ostrich leather, ostrich shells, iron and copper.
 

The purchase of craft products supports Cheetah Conservation Fund’s (CCF) community based initiative to help improve livelihoods in rural communities, while supporting CCF’s ongoing research,education, and conservation programmes in Namibia. CCF jewelry products are sourced and created by various Namibian and South African women, inspired by and crafted from rich traditional and cultural practices, made from naturally found materials.
