The Coolest Bracelets!

We have just received these fab new bracelets from Tesse Poppe. Handwoven from strong natural fibers and sealed in wax to make them waterproof, these bracelets are the the perfect combination of fashion and durability. Wear them in the shower, or better yet, show them off at the pool! Striking accents of silver colored beads and distinctive buttons carved out of coconut give these accessories an exciting look that appeals to women, men and kids. Plus, the wide array of colors they come in make them a great choice year 'round. The company, Wikkitz, works closely with women in Southeast Asia who help make the bracelets. There aren't a lot of work options for these women, most of whom are mothers, and it's been important to Wikkitz to find alternate forms of employment for them. Crocheting these bracelets gives them the opportunity to work from home on their own schedule without having to leave their kids in the care of someone else. Not only will you look incredibly fashionable, but you'll do so knowing that you're helping to promote women who start their own businesses. Plus the materials are green and very renewable. These are the Eco choice!
