A 200 year-old tradition from mystical Bahia, Brazil, "Brazilets", colorful bracelets, are worn throughout Latin America and provide a spiritual significance for all who wear them. Wrap Brazilets around your wrist and tie three knots, making a wish with each knot. When your Brazilets naturally break down and fall off (they last up to two years), it is believed that your three wishes will come true! With Brazilets, you now have a colorful, attractive way to proclaim your wishes while also making a real contribution to future generations.The Brazilet collection consists of 13 different colors, one to match every outfit or mood. They are said to bring good luck featuring the following text on each bracelet (in Portuguese), "In remembrance of our patron saint good luck in life".
The creators of the Brazilets have partnered with brands such as O.N.E. Natural Experience – committed to preserving the earth by using renewable resources – and organizations including the Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund and Plant A Billion Trees project, committed to rebuilding the storm-ravaged areas of New Orleans and preserving the Amazon rainforest, respectively.
Celeb fans of the line include Lauren Conrad and Anne Hathaway and be sure to look for it in this season's Gossip Girls.
