Beaded Leather Cuff Bracelets- Silver
The Silver Chevron Leather Cuff is the perfect fair trade bracelet! We are smitten with our metallic styles because they are so versatile. You can dress them up or pair them with a favorite casual tee-shirt and jeans.
Each fair trade bracelet is ethically handmade by the fairly-paid, empowered artisans of the Swahili Coast Co-operative. They are crafted from natural, free-range Tanzanian leather - sourced locally to our cooperative. Our talented partner artisans stitch high-quality beads onto the leather cuff using a monofilament line that is similar to fishing line.

The Swahili Coast Cooperative believes in cooperative ownership to create a lasting impact on development from the ground up.
Swahili Coast's guiding principles:
We believe that as talented artisans, we deserve to own the fruits of our labor.
Our cooperative is 100 % worker owned by active members. Workers that participate in the co-op own the share of profits that they contribute to over the course of each month.
Eighty percent of our co-op members are women.
We prioritize working with women artisans because we believe that women are agents for change and progress here in Tanzania. We care for our families, we send our children to school, and we work hard for our communities, culture, and country.
Our co-op pays fair wages, and pays out our monthly profits back to our workers at the end of each month.
We are our own boss and we do not work for anyone but ourselves.
