SUSTAINABLE CRAFT

Handmade in Accra by artisan Kamal, this adjustable copper bangle is a statement of both craft and symbolism. Designed with an open end, it is finished with a single citrine stone—a crystal celebrated for centuries as the stone of abundance.

Citrine is believed to carry the energy of the sun: warmth, joy, and vitality. Often associated with prosperity and success, it has been worn throughout history as a talisman for confidence, creativity, and positive energy.

The bangle’s pure copper frame adds to its charm, known not only for its earthy glow but also for its grounding and healing qualities. Over time, the copper develops a unique patina, making each piece deeply personal to its wearer. Its adjustable design allows for a comfortable, versatile fit on any wrist.

More than an accessory, this bangle is a piece of everyday art—a fusion of material, meaning, and masterful handcraft.

Wash at 30° / hand wash, iron on low heat.

Origin & history: Fugu (also called batakari for the sewn smock garment) refers to strip-woven cloth from Northern Ghana (notably among Dagomba, Mamprusi, Gonja, and other groups). Traditions recount influence from the Mossi/Moshie of Ouagadougou. Historically, smocks carried social and protective associations and, in some accounts, were worn in warfare or ritual contexts.

Technique & look: plain/warp-faced strip weaving on double-heddle narrow looms; sturdy cotton (sometimes with indigo) produces hard-wearing strips that are stitched and later tailored into the iconic smock silhouette. Patterns range from minimalist stripe layouts to richly banded indigo/undyed schemes. 

How we source: we source fugu from the Upper West Region of Ghana and have worked with the same trusted weaver since 2018, ensuring continuity and quality.

All our fabrics are treated to resist dye and stay true to their colours for years. 

Threaded Tribes is plastic free and committed to a full re-use of scraps.

This outfit was hand crafted in our Accra workshop using local fabrics with careful water usage and waste management.
