Item Description

One family, recognized for their thread craft, has carried on the tradition for more than 1,000 years. This extended family does the work of past generations, meticulously wrapping cotton and silk threads into bangles. The women of the family make the most important business decisions and the income from the family's work supports a growing network of extended relatives and friends. The family takes great pride in their craft and being able to do what they have done best for centuries.

Global Exchange's brightly colored cotton bangle bracelets keep alive this long family history of thread craftsmanship. The box includes nine different shades: warm orange, electric blue, fuscia, plum, olive, brick red, chartreuse, teal and deep purple. These cotton bangles are an easy, fun way to accessorize! The box contains enough bracelets to give away some as gifts. 

Item Special Note

Each bracelet is 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Bracelets are solid and must be slid over the hand and onto the wrist.
