Fortune Shell and Leather Tribal Hamsa

$440.00 USD

A one-of-a-kind early 20th-century Amazigh-Berber amulet necklace from Morocco, hand-stitched in leather and adorned with cowrie shells. Traditionally associated with protection, fertility, and prosperity, cowrie shells have long held symbolic importance across North Africa. The amulet retains its original hand worked character, with aged leather, visible stitching, and naturally worn surfaces that speak to its history. Finished on a leather cord, it feels both intimate and sculptural. 

Care Instructions: Keep in a dust cloth bag when not in use.

Heritage Craft, Reinterpreted

Re-imagining India’s most beautiful textile traditions. Every garment begins with both a reverence for tradition and a devotion to the maker’s hand.

A Movement Made by Women’s Hands

Since 2013, we've connected thousands of women artisans across 50+ countries to the growing global market for ethical luxury goods—building sustainable marketplaces, funding capacity-building grants, and forging the long-term partnerships that turn craft into lasting economic sovereignty. We’re not correcting poverty. We’re correcting a market failure: the systematic undervaluing of women’s work.
