Horn Bottle Opener from Uganda [COMING SOON]

A bottle opener like no other. These wow-factor Ankole horn tip bottle openers are the perfect ethical + sustainable addition to your curated bar. The Ankole-Watusi is a breed of cattle indigenous to western Uganda and parts of East Africa. Their distinctive horns are a recycled byproduct of the food industry and are purchased directly from the cattle keepers, providing revenue for local cattle-keeping communities. The horn is then hand-carved and polished by a small scale artisan community.

Ankole-Watusi cattle are incredible creatures! They provide food, manure, hide, medicine, and enterprise, and because they're so genetically diverse, they're naturally resistant to common diseases. Their distinctive horns (which can span up to 6 feet!) actually regulate their body temperature with a really interesting honeycomb pattern inside. An amazing design in a place where temps can exceed 120 degrees.

Assorted colors. 

Maadili Collective fosters partnerships with small-scale artisan communities where opportunities are limited or non-existent in order to promote economic freedom and stability. Ethically sourced and fair trade.
