  • This compact coin purse is perfectly sized to fit within any bag. Pair it with one of our totes or carry it on its own, you can easily and stylishly store spare change, cards, and other small necessities. Featuring our assortment of textile designs and accented with a fun, pom-pom zip pull. Handwoven from non-toxic dyed sheep wool.
  • Dimensions:  5 × 0.5 × 4 in
  • Textile Tradition: In the Andes, women artisans use the backstrap loom for traditional woven textiles. It is a completely non-mechanised loom, the oldest form in the world. It is constructed with wood, bone and strings, easily portable and possible to be set up in the home or elsewhere. All of the textiles used in Awamaki’s bags and purses are woven on back-strap looms by women living in remote Andean communities around the Sacred Valley. 

    Story of the Design: The textile designs of Awamaki's coin purses were inspired by the shawls worn by our artisan partners. In Quechua, these shawls are called Lliclla, a very important and personal article for each woman. They carefully weave their own llicllas, selecting each figure and emblem to represent their own individuality and values. No two llicllas are the same as they are a visual representation of each woman. Which of our coin purses represents your style?

    Artisans: Awamaki works with different cooperatives in the Patacancha and Kelkanka communities for woven textiles, it is based on a rotation system to ensure income and orders are equally distributed amongst the artisans. There are 3 cooperatives – Awac Phuna, Songuillay and Wakanquilla Kelkanca – with about 90 women artisans who partner with Awamaki to weave textiles.

  • This chic handmade wristlet is the perfect ‘grab and go’ accessory; compact and easy to carry, it fits all your essentials for a quick shopping trip or a night on the town. Handwoven from non-toxic dyed sheep wool, the traditional half Chakana woven design is complemented by a locally-sourced leather wrist strap. A pom-pom zipper pull adds a fun, eye-catching design detail

  • Dimensions:  7.5 × 0.5 × 4.5 in
  • Textile Tradition: In the Andes, women artisans use the backstrap loom for traditional woven textiles. It is a completely non-mechanised loom, the oldest form in the world. It is constructed with wood, bone and strings, easily portable and possible to be set up in the home or elsewhere. All of the textiles used in Awamaki’s bags and purses are woven on back-strap looms by women living in remote Andean communities around the Sacred Valley. 

    Story of the Design: The textile design is inspired by the Chakana, a very important symbol in the Incan culture, also known as the Incan Cross. The Chakana symbolizes the dynamic between the universe and the life it contains. The four “arms” of any chakana represent the four ‘classical elements’ of earth, air, water and fire; the four directions of the compass and four seasons: winter, spring, summer and autumn.

    Artisans: Awamaki works with different cooperatives in the Patacancha and Kelkanka communities for woven textiles, it is based on a rotation system to ensure income and orders are equally distributed amongst the artisans. There are 3 cooperatives – Awac Phuna, Songuillay and Wakanquilla Kelkanca – with about 90 women artisans who partner with Awamaki to weave textiles.

  • Certified by the Fair Trade Federation

  • Made in Peru by Awamaki, a non-for-profit working with a cooperative of Andean women who knit their way out of poverty.

  • Mayamiko is bringing you a selection of jewelery from ARTICLE22 - an organisation on a mission to transform negative into positive. Each piece of jewelry is a modern heirloom – a piece of history upcycled from Vietnam War shrapnel and scrap by artisans in Laos. Proceeds from the collection clear some of the 80 million unexploded bombs there.

    One bangle clears 3m2 of Laotian landscape

    Hand cast re-purposed military grade aluminium – PEACEBOMB Al metal includes Vietnam War era bombs, plane parts, military hardware and other aluminium scrap

    Wear the bangle alone or in a stack. Price is per individual bangle. 

    DESCRIPTION + SIZING

    Interior diameter:

    SML 2.4” / 6cm

    STD 2.5”/ 6.4cm

    Please enquire with us for additional sizing

    To determine your size, place your knuckles flat against a ruler, measure the width of your pointer knuckle to pinky knuckle.

    Choose SML if 3” or less

    Choose STD if 3”

    Comes complete with ARTICLE22 Story Card and handwoven, reusable Cotton Pouch



  • The Story Bangle is the first piece and represents the virtuous circle formed by ARTICLE22 - the more jewelry worn and shared, the more land cleared, the more material for artisans to make more jewelry and build their lives.

    Engraved with the story, dropped + made in Laos, each bangle is also marked with the company namesake, ARTICLE22, inspired by the 22nd Article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which states everyone’s right to social, economic, and cultural security and the free development of personality.

    Each piece gives back to support traditional Lao artisan livelihoods, village development, community endeavors and further de-mining efforts.

    Your purchase contributes to MAG (Mines Advisory Group) to safely & expertly clear some of the 80 million unexploded bombs contaminating land in Laos.



  • Hand cast re-purposed military grade aluminum – our PEACEBOMB Al metal includes Vietnam War era bombs, plane parts, military hardware and other aluminum scrap.

    East meets West. Each PEACEBOMB Al piece is authentically handcrafted in Laos and finished in Vientiane or New York.

    PEACEBOMB Al does not have to be removed in water. Metal does not tarnish, rust or leave discoloration on skin and has been tested to determine that it is NICKEL FREE.

    Bangles can be worn constantly. With wear, each piece becomes uniquely yours and will acquire a polished patina from the natural oils of your skin.

  • We have partnered with social enterprise YEWO, to bring you beautiful, responsibly made jewellery from northern Malawi.

    'Khuto' means 'ear' in Tumbuka, the language of Northern Malawi. Handcrafted from brass and sterling silver posts, the sweet little Khuto earrings comes in a satin finish.

    Each unique piece is made by hand solar-powered workshop in Malawi. No two pieces are identical— slight variations should be embraced.

    Materials: Satin brass, sterling silver posts

    Every order comes with a jewelry care card, hand sewn linen bag, and a polish pad to help maintain your item. Please read the care tab for more information on cleaning + storing your jewellery.


  • BR A S S

    Brass is a metal alloy comprised of copper and zinc. Known for its durability, brass has been used for centuries in Africa and is a sustainable alternative to gold. Today almost 90% of all brass in the world is recycled.

    It is the nature of brass to evolve and tarnish over time. Some love this antiqued, darker look, while others prefer to keep their jewelry bright and shiny. Humidity, products on your skin, and your bodies natural chemistry are some of the things that speed up this process.

    To avoid oxidation, remove jewelry before showering, working out, or using sprays of any kind. When not wearing your jewelry we recommend storing in a sealed bag in a dry area away from sunlight and heat.

    Clean unwanted tarnish and darker spots using the pro polish pad provided. Simply buff with the pad until the tarnish is lifted and the piece becomes shiny again. If pieces become heavily tarnished, we recommend using ‘Brasso’ - an affordable cleaning product found at most hardware shops and is excellent for removing stubborn marks and tarnish.

     

    T E A K

    Malawi is known for their incredibly talented wood carvers-- from dug out canoes to decorative wooden masks, this skillset is found across the country. We wanted to embrace this art form by incorporating wood elements in our designs.

    The wood components are all hand-carved from teak off-cuts purchased directly from the Forestry Department and provide a living, fair-paid wage to the four independent carvers.

    Similar to skin, wood can dry out over time. We recommend rehydrating your teak pieces by applying a small amount of coconut or olive oil and then buff it dry.


  • The YEWO workshop is based in a mountainous rural village in Malawi where roughly 95% of the community are either unemployed (depending solely on subsistence farming— growing enough food annually for their family) or working in the informal economic sector (i.e. selling goods in the marketplace or one-off jobs— usually paid well below minimum wage). Almost all of the team had previously never held a job in the formal economic sector, had access to reliable income, or knew a single thing about making jewelry before starting work at YEWO.

    Employees benefit from living wages, nutritious meals, paid leave, as well as training and healthcare support.

    Similar to skin, wood can dry out over time. We recommend rehydrating your teak pieces by applying a small amount of coconut or olive oil and then buff it dry.


  • The YEWO workshop is based in a mountainous rural village in Malawi where roughly 95% of the community are either unemployed (depending solely on subsistence farming— growing enough food annually for their family) or working in the informal economic sector (i.e. selling goods in the marketplace or one-off jobs— usually paid well below minimum wage). Almost all of the team had previously never held a job in the formal economic sector, had access to reliable income, or knew a single thing about making jewelry before starting work at YEWO.

    Employees benefit from living wages, nutritious meals, paid leave, as well as training and healthcare support.

  • We have partnered with social enterprise YEWO, to bring you beautiful, responsibly made jewellery from northern Malawi.

    'Malazi' means 'Sunrise' in Tumbuka, the language of Northern Malawi. Handcrafted from recycled brass, the Malazi bangle comes in a satin finish and is sure to get you noticed

    Each unique piece is made by hand solar-powered workshop in Malawi. No two pieces are identical— slight variations should be embraced.

    Materials: Satin brass

    Every order comes with a jewelry care card, hand sewn linen bag, and a polish pad to help maintain your item. Please read the care tab for more information on cleaning + storing your jewellery.

    Brass is a metal alloy comprised of copper and zinc. Known for its durability, brass has been used for centuries in Africa and is a sustainable alternative to gold. Today almost 90% of all brass in the world is recycled.

    It is the nature of brass to evolve and tarnish over time. Some love this antiqued, darker look, while others prefer to keep their jewelry bright and shiny. Humidity, products on your skin, and your bodies natural chemistry are some of the things that speed up this process.

    To avoid oxidation, remove jewelry before showering, working out, or using sprays of any kind. When not wearing your jewelry we recommend storing in a sealed bag in a dry area away from sunlight and heat.

    Clean unwanted tarnish and darker spots using the pro polish pad provided. Simply buff with the pad until the tarnish is lifted and the piece becomes shiny again. If pieces become heavily tarnished, we recommend using ‘Brasso’ - an affordable cleaning product found at most hardware shops and is excellent for removing stubborn marks and tarnish.
