[wakami] Wakami Bracelet 7 Strand Blue Mix WA-BC18010 <Blue Earth 7 Strand Unisex Fair Trade Handmade Made in Guatemala> [Free Shipping by Mail]

■Brand Description
Founder Maria Pacheco started a project to improve the lives of people in Guatemala (especially rural areas) after experiencing the brutality of the civil war that lasted for nearly 40 years. Based on the business model of fair trade, Wakami was established with the hope of connecting Guatemalan craftsmen with people all over the world and eventually making poor countries around the world richer.

wakami is a global social brand that inspires people to connect with their dreams and change and enjoy their lives through accessories.

The designs, inspired by traditional Central American weaving techniques and ancient cultures, are created with the concept of natural urban living that connects people, the earth, and the joy of living.
By being made by artisans (90% of whom are women) in poor and remote villages, they can be connected to various markets around the world.
We call ourselves ambassadors of the connection between those who make and buy Wakami products.
It changes the lives of those who make it and enriches the lives of those who wear it.
Through our connection programs, we empower artisans to advance their villages and communities.
This is the 18SS color of the 7-strand Japan-exclusive model, which is representative of the extremely popular Wakami.
As the name suggests, this is a long-selling model that comes with a set of seven different bracelets.
The motif is the story of the creation of the world, which is passed down in Guatemala, and each strand represents the earth, the sun, the stars, water and air, plants and animals, humans, and love.
It was made with the wish for world peace in mind, and it is said that when it breaks, that wish will come true.
Since all the pieces can be separated, you can combine them to suit your style of the day, or share them with a special someone.
*Since we use waxed cord, the cord may be stiff.
*For size-adjustable types, the size can be adjusted by pulling both spool adjusters at the base of the cord.
*If the adjuster is stiff, gently use warm air from a hair dryer to loosen it.
