Teak and Brass Interlocking Bangle

The Teak and Brass Interlocking Bangle links an upcycled brass bangle with a sustainably sourced Sudanese Teak bracelet. 

Wooden jewellery is so unique, but it's rare to find some as elegant as Soko's Teak and Brass Interlocking Bangle. It's easy to wear and adds a special touch to every outfit.

What We Love About It

This bangle is made by artisans in Kenya using traditional techniques. We love how each piece carries the unique signature of its maker - no bangle is the same as another. 

Things to Know

The Story Behind It

Soko seeks to redefine the aesthetics of ethical fashion by creating modern accessories that appeal to the urban woman. Founders Gwendolyn Floyd, Catherine Mahugu and Ella Peinovich established Soko in Nairobi, Kenya, with the aim of shifting the perception of ethical fashion and promote conscious consumerism.

Soko collections are inspired by architecture and traditional tribal designs, creating a strong yet minimal aesthetic. Their artisans use locally sourced and eco-friendly materials whenever possible, such as recycled brass and reclaimed cow horn and bone.

Soko believes that for something to be beautiful, the system that created it must also be beautiful. Using new digital platforms and mobile technology, they are pioneering ethical fashion by aligning handmade talent from emerging markets with the international fashion consumer. Soko works with artisan entrepreneurs every day to build their businesses, improve production capacity and sustainably increase their income.
