Couldnt be any happier with these darlings or with the love&attention the artist gave to my order! These merms arrived safely from across the globe&came with a sticker sheet–it included a personalized sticker with my name! What! So cool. Very much looking forward to collecting the rest of this series. Thank you, Kumica !
The pins are beautiful. Love it ! Kumica is really sweet and her response to requests and queries are fast. Thank you, Kumica !
![African Tribes - Herero #mermaidsoftheworld
The ‘Ohorokova’, the traditional Herero dress, is A-lined, with colourful, vibrant patterns and several petticoats. This creates a wide, structured skirt. The attire is topped off by a cow horn-shaped hat. The Herero people, who are historically cattle breeders, measure their wealth in cattle, and are paying homage to that part of their identity through this traditional fashion staple.
The style of dress was introduced by the German wives of missionaries and colonialists who first came to the country in the early 1900s. Tgd Ohorokova is a permanent reminder of the tribe’s unsettling past and history, when the Germans almost exterminated the entire tribe. The genocide nearly wiped out the once prosperous people of Namibia. Their cultural dress is a continued protest against the Germans who butchered them, making it a subversion of their former rulers’ fashion.
