Turning horror into beauty.
Between 1964 and 1973, during the Vietnam War, more than 2 million tons of bombs were dropped on the land of Laos, the most heavily bombed country (per capita) in the history of humanity. From the 1970s onwards, craftsmen and farmers in Laos recycled these bombs into spoons by recovering the metal from the shells. Elizabeth and Camille, founders of the brand, drew inspiration from this unique know-how and decided to transform these bomb remnants into jewelry with the aim of raising funds in collaboration with the NGO MAG (Mines Advisory Group), which finances demining operations.
A positive approach.
The craftsmen, from one of the provinces most affected by the bombings in Laos, work in close collaboration with Article22 to create these unique pieces of jewelry. The packaging also has its own story. Made from rice paper and cotton pouches, they are produced directly in Laos by a women's collective to support a greater number of artisans. In total, Article22 employs more than 40 artisans in Laos.
