Material Recycled Aluminum

Size S/M - 2 1/4" Inner diameter

Turning war into peace, these bangles carry a meaningful message and give back to a community once devastated by bombing. They're great for stacking and come in two sizes.

  • Material: Recycled aluminum bomb parts.
  • Measurements: S/M 2 1/4" Inner diameter, M/L 2 5/8" Inner diameter
  • Fair Trade and handmade with love in Laos.
  • We work with artisans in Ban Naphia located in the Xieng Khuang Province who source aluminum from airplane parts and bombs dropped throughout Laos during the Secret War (Vietnam War) in the 1960s. The community which produces the recycled bomb products have all been trained by Helvetas, a Swiss NGO, on how to handle the metals safely, including smelting and cleaning the aluminum before use. It is important to note that of all the bombs dropped in Laos, 30% did not explode. Unexploded ordnance (UXO) continues to pose a significant threat to the safety of villagers in rural Lao.
