Himba Recycled Waterpipe Bracelets
The Himba, indigenous nomadic pastorlists from the Kunene region of Namibia, have incorporated recycled water pipe bracelets into their traditional attires.

Cutting traditional designs into the pipe they create a unique fashion statement popular with everyone from children, teens and adults.
