Wood Animal - Giraffe

$22.00 USD

The perfect addition to your nature-inspired space, these small wooden giraffes are expertly carved using locally sourced mukwa wood by the artisans from the Luangwa Artisan Collective. Beautifully displaying the natural grain of the mukwa wood, these make for a thoughtful gift for any giraffe lover. 

The artisans from Luangwa Artisan Collective are independent artisans that work out from Tribal Textiles, and all sale proceeds go directly to them and their families. We train those local artists in product development and business skills such as merchandising, accounting and pricing. We work with them to create beautiful products and give them access to local and international wholesale markets. We built for them an all-weather work and market place on Tribal Textiles ground, where they can sell to visitors.



CARE
  • Sold individually
  • Handmade using 100% local mukwa wood
  • Each piece may vary slightly due to its handcrafted nature

I love this wood carving. It is made from a beautiful piece of wood with a warm brown color which adds to the overall impact of the carving. The lines are simple and elegant which perfectly capture a giraffe's grace. This is the first carving I ordered from Tribal Textiles, but it won't be the last.

Dear Robin, thank you so much for these amazing words and we are so glad you were blown away by the talent of our artisans. We hope to see you back again shortly. From the team at Tribal Textiles.

What more can I say Simple and elegant is exactly what they are. And just as I feel about everything I have bought from Tribal Textiles, they channel the energy of this amazing company. I can’t know who, exactly, made these sculptures, but I feel connected on a visceral level, halfway around the world from where I sit.

Dear Suzanna, thank you for this glowing review and we are so glad to be connected to homes all of the world. Each sculpture although the same design is unique and helps support our glorious independent artisans. We hope to see you shop with us again in the near future.
