The Origin of Raw Materials

Craftsmanship sometimes allows for the union of unbridled creativity with technical prowess, celebrating human expertise. This occurs, for instance, when the skilled artisans of the Maison Albanu work with elephant hair meticulously gathered from the ground. This approach respects an original ethic, combining a non-violent method with an authentic tribute to this totemic animal.

Holding its own CITES permit, every creation from Albanu’s workshops comes with the strictest origin guarantee in line with the Washington Convention governing the trade of protected species.

Thus, each Albanu bracelet comes with guaranteed provenance for every natural material used in its creation, namely: · The elephant hair and giraffe hair sourced from four African countries (South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana) · The horsehair originating from Mongolia · The buffalo horn sourced from Vietnamese farms

From the sales team to the management at Albanu, all of the Maison’s collaborators join its artisans in expressing a shared sense of pride, born of a foundation of values crowned by a unique aesthetic: that of the timeless elephant hair good-luck bracelets.
