PVC

How cool are these PVC bangles from Namibia?  Made from recycled PVC pipe, which has been stripped from the ground and destined for the landfill, each piece is hand-carved and gets its coloring from the natural organic compounds that form on the inside of the pipes after years of transporting water.  The process is innovative, unique and environmentally friendly!

(medium bracelets $18, large bracelets $20)
