Telephone Wire Keychain: Giraffe

Sold Out
$6.50
Brand: Africa Smiles
Minus Plus

is backordered. We will ship it separately in 10 to 15 days.

Hand made from colourful telephone wire, this cute giraffe keychain will add a splash of bright colour to your keyring.  Keychains are small enough that they can also be added as an accessory to zippers, backpacks and handbags.

The craft of Zulu telephone wire art is based on traditional basket weaving and was conceived by Zulu night watchmen, who would weave discarded telephone wire around their security sticks to keep themselves busy. This trend was then transformed by the women who then used the materials and technique to create colourful bowls, baskets and novelty items. 

As all items are individually crafted, small variations should be expected.

  • Size: 3.5cm
  • Plastic coated wire
  • Handmade in the hills outside Durban, South Africa
