ethical junction

pinki! is a funky new line of stylish designer cowhide and springbok antelope accessories including bags, belts and cushions. Tactile and luxurious, fabulously furry, each item is designed to a very high specification. The collection, designed by Jo Kettle, is handcrafted in a workshop that has WFTO (World Fair Trade Organisation) status. All the hides that are used are sourced from socially and environmentally responsible suppliers in South Africa where the animals are farmed for their meat and the skins cast aside. You can therefore be assured that each pinki! product is eco-friendly, ethical and its production helps to support rural development in South Africa. The bags are available in a number of eye-catching styles including the classic "Kimberley tote", slightly larger "Kilifi", a gorgeous carry-all or even a baby bag for mums, and wonderfully roomy "Kili" weekender. All are lined with bold slipper satin linings including hot pink, cherry red, apricot and turquoise. The collection also includes cowhide belts with colourful stitching and vibrant satin linings and springbok cushions, which, with their beautiful markings blend perfectly with all styles of interiors
