Kapyupyu
These earrings are an ode to Fantastic Fungi. Kapyupyu is the Tonga word for a type of edible chanterelle mushroom (Cantharellus cinnabarinus) which derives its name from the cinnamon red colour it boasts during its bloom in rainy season. The Red Chanterelle Mushroom is a tangible thread to show the deep rooted connection between Zambian people and the Land.
