#KnowYourArtisan
Burkina Faso
Handcrafted by a group of artisans from the Tuareg community of northern Mali, who are currently refugees in Burkina Faso. This group of Tuareg refugee artisans in the Goudebou and Mentao camps in Burkina Faso have had their outstanding skills in leather and metal work passed on through the generations. This collection preserves age-old artisan techniques, fusing artisanal leather with hammered metals. The cultural identity and symbolism of the Tuareg are beautifully intertwined in every piece.
