SUSTAINABLE CRAFT

Crystals are beautiful rock formations that have been used for many different things over thousands of years.

The green obsidian is a glass-like beauty with many healing properties. It is great for getting rid of any dark, heavy energy - it helps one navigate difficult situations and leads you towards 'the light'. The green obsidian is a root chakra stone - this chakra governs your feelings of stability and security. This stone keeps your root chakra open and accessible by addressing - that way, you always feel like you have a stable footing as you make your way through life.

We encourage you to do some more research on stones that call out to you for a much more personal connection that may come from your research.

Care
The purpose of crystal care is to bring the crystal to a clear and pure state.
There are different ways of caring for & recharging your crystals and here are some of our favourites:

Water Cleanse - Hold the crystal under water and visualize the water washing over the crystal taking away any disruptions to its natural state.

Moon Cleanse - Place crystal directly under the moonlight and charge it up under the full and new moons to get the most potent energies.

Sun Cleanse - Place the crystal in direct or partial sunlight to supercharge your crystal and give it drive and focus.

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.
