Bundle and SAVE! These bracelets hail from the colorful villages surrounding beautiful Lake Atitlán, Guatemala.

Each cotton bracelet’s color symbolizes the unique cultural attributes of its artisan’s home village in the Lake Atitlán region.
We've partnered with non-profit Mercado Global to help employ over 540 female artisans who make this vibrant collection of bracelets by hand! Mercado Global takes a holistic approach to breaking the cycle of poverty with a three-pronged approach: community-based education in art and finance, creating market access through connections to international sales opportunities, and asset development like microloans to help artisans purchase looms or incentives to save a portion of their salary.
