FOR THE SUSTAINABLE FASHIONISTA
This ear cuff is the definition of sustainable: environmentally, they are up-cycled from shrapnel and debris, culturally, they are made by fair trade Laotian artisans who developed this craft technique in the 1970s, and socially, men and women work side by side at homemade earthen kilns in their gardens.
Made from our signature transformed metal and finished with sterling silver, this ear cuff is effortlessly chic, super lightweight and comfortable to wear.
Each piece gives back to support traditional Laotian artisan livelihoods, village development, community endeavors and further de-mining efforts.
Your purchase contributes to MAG (Mines Advisory Group) to safely & expertly clear some of the 80 million unexploded bombs contaminating land in Laos.
$70 clears 4m2 of Laotian landscape
