The history of the tchatchat creoles:

In the Sahara, patterns and jewelry often have magical powers. For the Tuaregs, the Woodabés Peulhs, each small object attached to the body carries a meaning, a story, a force which protects them, gives them courage to face the desert.

I was inspired by these talismans to design the “Les Grigris” collection. These curls take the shape of the little necklaces of young girls, the “tchatchat” which form these corollas.

Delivered with small transparent silicone stops, in a kraft box.
