Title: African Inspiration
Image by Jasmine from London | in fashion, design & create, recycling
My ideas were inspired by the Maasai Mara Tribe in Africa who sell souvenirs to tourists created out of sustainable material. They use ring-pulls from cans, interlinked, to create belts and other items. They also reuse baseball caps and sunglasses, tourists carelessly leave behind when visiting their tribe. Our geography teacher showed us a souvenir she had bought from there and it was impressive how carefully made it was. They only have materials available to them to make the souvenirs out of and create enough money for food. I used their idea of ring-pulls, as well as a peacock feather I collected from my journey to India and buttons from old tops to customise my old denim hat.
