Handcrafted in Accra by artisan Kamal, this adjustable copper bangle combines traditional craftsmanship with the natural energy of crystals. Its open ends are finished with citrine and amethyst, creating a harmonious balance of warmth and calm.

• Citrine, known as the stone of abundance, has long been associated with prosperity, confidence, and joy. Its radiant, sun-like energy is believed to spark creativity and attract success.

• Amethyst, revered since ancient times, is celebrated as a stone of protection and clarity. It is thought to calm the mind, encourage balance, and deepen spiritual awareness.

Set in pure copper, the bangle carries the metal’s natural grounding qualities and develops a beautiful patina over time, making each piece uniquely personal. Its open, adjustable design ensures a comfortable fit for any wrist.

More than jewelry, this bangle is a talisman of harmony—blending strength, clarity, and abundance into one timeless piece.

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.
