Description
These handmade friendship bracelets come as a matching pair, made by Mayan people in Guatemala in the spirit of the friendship bands that travellers swapped with the good friends they met on long journeys. They are made from fabric threads, braided, knotted or woven into a band, and each one finishes in twisted cord ends that tie around the wrist. This is an Assorted line, so we send one matching pair chosen at random and the colours and pattern will be a surprise. The designs vary widely, from fine cords 1.5mm wide to bold woven bands 15mm wide, some striped in blocks of colour and some knotted into diamonds and zigzags.
Because the two bracelets match, they are made for sharing: one for you and one for someone close. Wear yours every day as a quiet reminder of whoever wears its twin, or keep the pair together and pass both on. They weigh next to nothing, so they are easy to forget once tied on, and they sit happily beside a watch or a stack of other bracelets. Soft fabric rather than metal, they suit anyone who likes something relaxed and comfortable on the wrist, whether at home, at work or on their travels.
Each bracelet measures about 35cm from end to end, ties included, and is sized to fit most wrists: wrap it round, knot the cords to a fit you like and trim any spare length if you wish. The band is around 0.4cm thick, so it sits close to the skin. Because every pair is made by hand, no two are quite alike, which is part of their charm. To keep the threads looking bright, slip them off before a swim or a long soak, and let them dry naturally if they get wet. Tie one on your own wrist and hand the other over, and you have a simple token of friendship.
