Inti Wristlet with Pompom in Aqua

• Features

  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.

Necklace and Earrings set in Sunshine Yellow

£35.00​

• Features
• Origins & Ethics
• Care

• Beautiful set featuring twisted necklace and hoop earrings, created for Mayamiko by women empowerment partner workshop Amma in Sri Lanka.
  

  Each set comes with separate handmade pouches

  Plant dyed using pomegranate, each piece will vary slightly in shade.

  Size

  Necklace: Between 25cm - 28cm in length when worn. Cord thickness is approximately 2cm.

  Earrings: Between 5cm - 6cm in length from the top of the metal back. Between 3cm - 3.5cm in width.

  Materials

  Naturally dyed cotton body, silver plated earring backs. Due to the handmade nature of this product variations in the colour and material should be expected. Colour will adapt and change over time in different environments.

  Care Guidance

  Gently soak in cool water using a ph neutral eco washing soap. Use a tea towel or old cloth to remove excess water. Don’t use stain remover or harsh chemicals. Dry flat and store out of direct sunlight to preserve the colour.

• Mayamiko has partnered with AMMA for these unique, limited edition products. Amma trains and employs mothers living in the Sri Lankan highlands to turn food waste and plants into natural dyes. Sustainable textiles, ethically handmade.

  They create beautiful plant dyed textiles, encouraging consumers to 'open their eyes' to this ancient art and become aware of the negative impact that the fashion and textile industry has on our world.

  Products are made in a rural workshop, using handwoven cotton and 100% plant dyes using food waste such as avocado stones and pomegranate skins from hotels and restaurants along with foraging for fallen leaves and sourcing medicinal plants to produce our dyes.

  Everything evolves around the dyes, this is why things take time. Small batch production means every piece is one of a kind

  The mothers employed by the project come from the tea estates that surround the workshop. They are from low income backgrounds and are now principle contributors to the household finances. We could not be prouder of this, as they become role models within their communities.

  
  

• Naturally-dyed fabrics need to be cared for differently to synthetically-dyed fabrics. All dyes eventually fade over time including synthetic ones! Natural dyes will alter and change in shade and tone over a period of time.
