FORESTED & FUNKY.................. VIBRANT & CHUNKY

Like a true Buganda babe...Get these around your neck for a hot tribal edge.

Barkcloth is made by beating sodden strips of the inner bark of trees into sheets. Alike the paper bead, it is cut into strips and rolled into form.

watch video on barkcloth making.

These beads were made by our friends at Kwetu Africa. Alike Mzuribeads, Kwetu Africa is a similar sustainable business promoting environmental awareness and encouraging recycling.

Sanaa Gatega, the founder of Kwetu Africa is shown wearing a barkcloth jacket he designed.

These beads are fabulous for designing jewellery and interior decor.
