About me / About business or organisation:
I set up a Fair Trade accessories business in 2009. I design and produce hand-crafted springbok and cowhide bags, belts and cushions under my label pinki! and use a workshop that has World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO) accreditation. Moreover all the skins that I use are a by-product of the meat industry in South Africa ensuring that my products are eco-friendly and sustainable. The collection has vibrant coloured linings including hot pink, cherry red, turquoise and lime green making them luxurious, eye catching and very funky!
