The Sunu Kanu Necklace — meaning “Our Love” in Bambara — is more than jewelry; it’s a powerful symbol of connection. In Malian culture, kanu represents not only romantic love, but also deep affection for heritage, people, and community. Wearing this necklace is a way to carry that love with you — for your roots, your identity, and the earth we share.
Handmade in Mali by skilled artisans, each piece is crafted from recycled leather and ethically sourced horn, transforming natural materials into wearable art. Its fixed length of about 23 inches sits perfectly at the collarbone, making it an instant centerpiece for any outfit.

Whether worn to cultural events, festivals, or as a statement in your everyday look, the Sunu Kanu turns heads while telling a story of sustainability, heritage, and unity.
