Kora Designs works with artisans in the developing countries of Africa to provide capital to build their businesses. “KORA merges the worlds of fashion and sustainable business development to the unique and mutual benefit of both. Our jewelry features locally-sourced recycled materials and are made by local artisans in African developing communities. We draw design inspiration from the elemental properties of each material, ancient ceremonial jewelry and our frequent, wanderlust-driven travels as we seek out new and unique materials.”
