as seen in harper's bazaar & elle. the adelaide necklace combines classic charm with playful versatility—a long strand of hand-rolled white paper beads designed to be worn single, double, or triple layered for effortless style.

story & impact

this collection was designed in canada & handmade by a small women's group of mothers & daughters in kayebe village, gayaza, uganda — where creativity, tradition, & community come together in every piece.

this collection helps preserve & pass down traditional paper bead-making techniques to younger generations — keeping cultural craftsmanship alive. the collaboration creates meaningful income opportunities for the artisans, supporting what matters most to them — from their children’s education & family meals to savings goals & community projects.

sustainable materials & details

locally sourced recycled paper, sealed with a water-resistant finish — paired with stainless steel.

size: 55" length — designed to double & triple wrap.

each piece is handmade, & slight variations may occur from piece to piece. this collection features hand-rolled paper beads, each crafted from recycled paper with its own unique patterns & textures. natural variations in color, size, & shape are part of the handmade process — adding to the uniqueness and charm of each piece.
