African Wax Print Lanyard

Beautiful wax print fabric lanyard.  Bring a little joy to the job.  Approximately 20.5" long. Patchwork fabric made in Ghana, lanyard sewn and finished by immigrant and refugee women in the USA. Made of patchwork fabrics, re-stitched Ankara wax print pieces from Ghana are reclaimed from tailoring. The colors are bright, the patterns are diverse, the pieces are all different shapes and sizes. They represent all of us. As we restitch them, we create a metaphor for the ways that we can imagine healing our separations, our inequalities, our judgements. We can come together, different than we were before, made whole by connecting.   The Riverview Sewing Group, formed by a group of immigrants here in Columbus, Ohio, who come together to sew and connect with one another, have embraced these fabrics. The group engages with people from Africa, Asia and Latin America, so their collective spirit resonates with the intentions and purpose of World Peaces. Fair Trade has always been about connectin
