Red Tribe
Namibia, a country of breathtaking beauty, is home to a diverse range of cultures and ethnic groups. Around the 16th century, the Himba people, also known as the "red tribe," migrated to Namibia from Angola, bringing with them unique traditions that have been preserved to this day. The Himba are known for their way of life, deeply connected to nature, and their distinctive skincare and haircare practices using a mixture of ochre and fat, which gives their bodies a characteristic reddish hue. For a Himba woman, her hair is her strength. It reflects her marital status, age, wealth, and rank within the community. Close relatives spend hours creating intricate and socially symbolic hairstyles, turning this process into a ritual that strengthens family bonds. This pair of earrings was inspired by the traditional Himba woman—strong, independent, and incredibly beautiful.
