THE LOYAL WORKSHOP | SAMMIE KEY FOB

Made from eco-tanned leather by incredible leather artisans, this key organiser can secure five regular keys as well as an electronic car key. 

The Key Sammie is named after Samuel Sharpe. Sharpe was the leader of the widespread 1831–1832 Baptist War Slave Rebellion in Jamaica. He mistakenly believed that emancipation had been granted to enslaved people by the British Parliament and organised a peaceful strike across a number of Jamaican estates to protest working conditions. He was hung in 1832 for the uprising and it is believed that this rebellion helped catalyse the Slavery Abolition Act and later the Abolishment of Slavery in the British Empire. He was proclaimed a National Hero of Jamaica in 1975 and his image is on the $50 Jamaican banknote.

More Information

The Loyal Workshop was founded to provide an opportunity for freedom. Modern day slavery is a phenomenon Loyal were not prepared to be apathetic about. Loyal believes that another world is possible; one where sex slavery is relegated to the history books. It’s a brazen dream but Loyal are putting it into action in one city, in one red-light community, with one woman at a time.

The Loyal Workshop exists to bring freedom, dignity and restoration to women enslaved in the sex industry through holistic care and by creating a working community that crafts high quality, eco-friendly, leather goods.

In 2019 they became members of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO). This means there practices are externally audited and approved by the WFTO community.
