KOBE TOUGH beads & leather
KOBE is the Swahili word for the African sea Turtle - a beautiful sea creature with a hard external shell. We believe that KOBE represents both the amazing beauty and the toughness of the African Savannah. We started bead-making as a direct response to the devastating effects of climate change
