KEYCHAINS + FOBS

Cutest little African animals made from recycled wire and beads make wonderful, whimsy key chains! All handmade in the Salt River district of Cape Town by Godfrey and his team.

Each animal is approximately 1" to 2.5" in size so it fits easily in a pocket or purse.

As each animal is hand beaded and unique, the color of beads you receive may be different than what is photographed.

Thumbprint Artifacts was conceived in 2012 by two life-long friends, Becky Riess and Kris Engle. These creative Michiganders wanted to recognize entrepreneurial spirit by supporting fairly traded artisan companies in areas of the world greatly affected by unemployment. This support translates into empowerment and self-sufficiency that helps the artisans care for themselves, their families, and contribute to their communities. With Kris based in South Africa and Becky based in Michigan, they created their 'cycle of success' by purchasing directly from the artisans and sharing their crafts with galleries and fine boutiques across the world. Each item sold positively impacts employment security and growth to build sustainable and profitable businesses. Most of the artisans are women, primarily single mothers, who all take great pride in their work. Considering the extended families that each artisan supports, Thumbprint Artifacts is currently touching the lives of 500+ people. 

Thumbprint Artifacts is a Proud Member of the Fair Trade Federation - a trade association of fair trade enterprises fully committed to equitable and sustainable trading partnerships. They strengthen and support members in order to grow the global movement of trade that values the health of the planet, and the labor, dignity, and equality of all people.

BRITISH MADE IN A RAINBOW OF COLOUR - Ark Colour Design was founded in 2015 by Jane Richards and Amy Lindsay. As buyers for our own shop in Cambridge, we have over a decades worth of experience in the gift trade. Drawing from our backgrounds in fashion and fine art, we set about creating products which are fun and affordable, but also well made. All our products are made by a small family run manufacturer in Scotland. The leather is processed in their on-site tannery and then cut and foil embossed to our designs. Because every piece is hand finished with embossing, each one is unique to the next.

As a group of artists, dreamers, and doers looking to fill that infamous void, the idea of our designs on our goods in our favorite stores is what led us here.
