The beads are handmade by the Women’s Group from Mannya. Each bead is made from magazine or newspaper pages, so each has its own unique quality. On some you can even read the words from the magazine or newspaper it’s made from!

The Women’s Group have been a driving force in the partnership with the Cotton On Foundation. Together we started rebuilding their village in 2008 and now we have the beginnings of a sustainable village, where education and health are a priority and the community is proud of where they live.

By buying a Suubi bangle from any Cotton On, Cotton On Body and Rubi Shoes stores in Australia you are helping to support Mannya village as well as the business ambition and drive of these remarkable women.
