Juzi – The day before yesterday

That’s the meaning behind the Swahili word Juzi.

Juzi is the fashion brand behind these funky accessories that have been handcrafted from recycled magazines and bottle tops from a cooperative in Kisumu, Western Kenya.

As a bit of product photography these chunky beads were really fun to work with. They have a lovely feel and vibrancy about them and I hope they prove to be a big success over here. Here’s a selection from the shoot.
