finding treasure in the unlikeliest of places

So I found this little beauty today in John Lewis of all places. . . and I LOVE it!


On returning home I checked out the company Made and discovered a whole lot more loveliness on their website.

Made - by the people for the people, is a fair trade accessories brand founded in 2005, producing jewellery and leather goods from a workshop in Nairobi, Kenya.

The company's philosophy 'trade not aid' is all about giving people in Africa the independance to make a better life for themselves by creating employment and promoting sustainable, ethical trade using their skills and craftsmanship.

 There have been collaborations with an array of luxury brands and celebrities including Laura Bailey, Peaches Geldof and Alexa Chung have all turned their hand to guest designing for the brand.

I am definitely going to be keeping an eye out for future treasures from this company!
