Many people I've spoken to ended up making life altering decisions. 3 families I know have left the UK for greener climes and another 4 are leaving the big cities for greener spaces where the pace of life is slower and their vistas wider. Normally I am a special occasions seamstress, but not anymore.

Fulani Jewelry wholesale & retail

I started selling Fulani jewelry in the early 1990s. I bought my first stock from Ghanaian and Malian glass bead traders I would meet at the Ghana Trade Fair center. I was fascinated by the intricate work and the bright shine of the brass. I had sold brass and silver jewelry from India and Thailand since the late 80s but had never come across any other people who worked brass that thin or that shiny. My customers were equally as fascinated. It would be more than 10 years I would go to Mali and meet Malian Fulani brass jewelry makers for myself.  The origins of the distinctive earring designs is shrouded in a bit of mystery and many stories.

Along the way they would trade with the other peoples they incountered.

The change came with the death of C&A and high street clothes no longer being made in the UK. Around that time in the 80s a big story broke in the news. Emelda Marcos the wife of the president of Singapore was reported to have over 1000 pairs of shoes. We couldnt believe it. We'd never heard anything like before, but it ignited the imagination of.women everywhere to the idea of having many many many shoes. So many shoes that you would need a room dedicated to them. It wasnt that we didnt have cheap imports in the 70s and 80s. We did ! But yo
