African tribe Dassanech turns waste into western Ethiopia
jewelry … At a time when we are all encouraged to recycle as much as possible, one tribe in Ethiopia showed their latest fashion accessories entirely made of old pieces of junk. The women of the tribe Dassanech in Ethiopia, have shown their unique jewelry made of everything from digital watches to old bottle corks to the old sim card. African tribe has created iconic dresses and hats out of bottle corks, earrings from sim card. Breeding impressive way the so-called “recycling mode” is well accepted and they started to sell some pieces of his jewelry and tourists.
That is creative using waste materials to make something.
I think that was the one that I have seen in one documentary in Africa. The colorful jewelry made from non-metal materials.
A fine waya to convert waste into wealth.
When I was in college (a long time ago) I studied anthropology. Even though I didn’t pursue it as a career, I’ve maintained an interest in it. I love reading articles like this.
