Bead crochet today – craftsmanship, design and fair collaboration

Welcome to my blog! In a world where fashion is often quick and fleeting, I dream of jewellery that lasts — jewellery that tells a story  — a story of traditional craftsmanship, design and our collaboration with the artisans in Togo.
My jewellery is made with love and care in Togo, a place where ancient crafts remain alive. The technique of bead crocheting, a traditional handicraft, flows into my modern designs and brings the heritage of this art form into a new, contemporary form.

How our jewellery is made matters to me: through long-term collaboration, careful handwork and transparent production steps. Why? Because I am convinced that real luxury lies in respect for people and nature. The beadwork is made through our long-term collaboration with artisans in Togo. We describe pay, working arrangements and local coordination transparently in our Women’s Project.
This is the only way I can ensure that my jewellery is not only beautiful but also responsible. Every beaded piece made here carries the stories and skills of the craftswomen.

In this blog I take you on the journey of my inspirations, designs and the creative processes behind each of my pieces. Together we will discover how traditional bead crocheting comes to life in today's context and how we bring together design, craftsmanship and fair collaboration at Sakiba.
