Handcrafted in Accra by artisan Kamal, this adjustable copper bangle is a minimalist yet powerful piece. Designed with an open end, it is crowned with a single clear quartz crystal, known as the master healer.

Clear Quartz has been treasured across cultures for its versatility and strength. Believed to amplify energy, clarity, and intention, it is often worn to focus the mind and elevate spiritual awareness.

The bangle itself is crafted from pure copper—valued for its grounding qualities and its natural ability to develop a unique patina over time, making each piece truly personal. With its open, adjustable design, the bangle fits comfortably on any wrist.

A modern talisman of clarity and strength, this piece is more than jewelry—it’s a daily reminder of focus, energy, and light.

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.
