Bold, modern, green: Zid Zid Kid masks for Halloween

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

We recently stumbled upon Zid Zid Kids‘ masks – and we fell instantly head-over-heels.
Not only are they absolutely gorgeous, they’re absolutely green AND fair. Handmade by artisans in Morocco, Zid Zid Kids masks are made from eco-friendly recycled cardboard (with an elastic string).
We have a feeling that these masks will be played with long past Halloween (and don;t be surprised if you are tempted to hang them on the wall).
Choose from elephant, bird, giraffe and lion. Available with or without cotton cape.
