Hope is All You Need

Band4Hope

‘Hope is contagious…[pass it on]’ is the mantra behind Band4Hope: a movement of pay-it-forward copper and zinc wristbands ethically handcrafted in Zimbabwe and inspired by the traditional jewellery of the Himba people of Namibia. Already spotted on the likes of Vivienne Westwood, Annie Lennox, Lily Cole and Aussie VJ Kate Peck, each band is fashioned with a unique ID which enables them and their impact to be tracked via an online map as they are passed from person to person. Part of the purchase price of each band goes to charity and those who the bands are passed on to are also encouraged to make a donation. The perfect gift for someone who has everything, you can buy the unisex bands for $25 online here.
