Embrace sustainable fashion and support traditional craftsmanship with this eye-catching yellow wooden necklace. Sustainably handcrafted by artisans in Channapatna (a small town in Southern India) using the 200 year old toy craft of lac turnery, the necklace is made of lightweight wood and the colours are natural using plant-based dyes.

 

The necklaces are handcrafted using time-honoured traditional skills, initially introduced by Persian toy makers. The age old craft was in danger of dying but is now protected as a geographical indication (GI) under the World Trade Organization, and supported by the Dutch Government. Various social enterprises have also been instrumental in reviving the Channapatna craft and today small-scale industries have been established to help artisans work on this art-form.

 

Buying this product will help keep the industry alive and support its artisans.

 

Check out other colours and designs in this range. Match with wooden earrings and bangles.

 

A perfect gift for anyone passionate about all things colourful. Great Summer accessory.

Packed with tissue paper in a recycled box.
