I just discovered last day in Topshop this new fair trade brand called Made that makes lovely jewellery in Kenya. They work with people from various ages and backgrounds to create beautiful products using traditional skills and fashion led design.
They really have a fantastic range of rings, bracelets, necklaces and other accessories, mostly made from reclaimed brass, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that Topshop was stocking them.
Reading through their website I was very impressed with the work they do at local level and the ethic behind their brand. I particularly like the fact that most of the material they use is reclaim brass, which they tend to source from local individuals, at a fair price, thereby helping to both strengthen the local economy and empower small businesses; and of course reclaim brass, means that they are also super environmentally friendly.
Basically, they tick all the boxes of a good fair trade brand and I will definitely look up to them in progressing my work with Matik.
So, if you are looking for something beautiful, but a bit different, well check them out as they are definitely worth it.
Of course, I couldn't resist and ended up buying these gorgeous hoops earrings. Love them!!
