Vagabond Van...Eco-Friendly Fabulosity on Wheels!


Vagabond Van was born from a desire to dress in a unique way. Eclectic, colourful and one-of-a-kind, we offer clothes and accessories which are as individual as you are. Vagabond Van began as a mobile boutique, operating from a 1952 Flying Cloud Airstream caravan. The Airstream may be parked for now but the online shop is in top gear!
 

These one-of-a-kind earrings are made in Zimbabwe from cow horn and bone by an enterprising man called Joseph. He has invented a machine which helps him to carve and buff the horn and bone, bringing out the beauty of these natural materials and giving the earrings their polished finish. These designs are exclusive to Vagabond Van.


Fabulous, environmentally concious, eclectic threads! 

 "Our current collection hails from Africa and is infused with the creative spirit of this vibrant continent. Wherever possible, our products are made by hand. This helps to maintain, otherwise vanishing, traditional crafts and creates many more jobs, which in turn helps to keep communities self sufficient. The materials that we use are often ingeniously recycled, adding to the unique story which each piece has to tell and minimising its effect on the environment. "
Part of the Vagabond Van team is currently traveling the world, searching for new and extraordinary products. These come in all the time so keep checking the website for new stock or like their Facebook Facebook Page and be the first to know. You can follow their travels at The Vagabond Adventures.
