"Forty-four female artisans and one male artisan take part in this project to hand-weave beautiful and colorful bracelets using the macrame technique," says the collective Amantani from Peru. They craft this charming pair of unisex acrylic wristband bracelets with a tie closure featuring multicolored geometric and chevron-like patterns.

Classic Andean patterns in cerulean, sepia, honey, lemon and brick red make this pair of acrylic wristband bracelets irresistible. The unisex bracelets feature a tie closure and are the creation of the collective Amantani from Peru, who carefully hand-weave them using the traditional macrame technique.

This beautiful bracelet, handcrafted by artisans from Cusco, Peru, is perfect for casual wear anywhere. The artisans from the Amantaní community choose colors and designs with specific positive intentions, drawing inspiration from the vibrant hues of natural water sources. Weaving is one of the oldest traditions in rural Andean families, representing the richness of cultural heritage and serving as a unique channel for creativity shared with people worldwide. Each piece is a unique work of woven art and will vary in color and motif.

Since the ancient times of the Maya, the jade stone has often been associated with vitality and eternity. This distinguished gem is now part of a dapper design crafted by Erick and Ivania from Guatemala. The artisans, inspired by the ancient Maya legends, center the jewel in this black nylon pendant bracelet, whose mint cotton accents match the jade's refreshing hue.
