The Made Solid Loop Bracelet is a simple thin strap of Hermann Oak vegetable tanned leather, looped on one end. The loop is secured on with natural cotton whipping.
All bracelets are made at about 12 inches - one size fits all. Just trim the end to size.
We recommend leaving the indigo end as is.
Indigo bracelets are dipped a few inches on each end.
Black bracelets are hand dyed on all sides.
Natural bracelets are simple, ready for patina.
All are finished with plant oils and beeswax.
There are two ways to tie them on:
1) a simple square knot on the strap end, or
2) a square knot tying the strap to the loop.
Wear until it falls off!
This is our newest Stitch Cuff colorway.
The white leather is vegetable tanned with a white pigment coloring. All natural and well suited to this style.
It is stiched by hand using a durable tan lace, adding a bit of contrast to tge white. Natural cotton braided cord and an antique bone button are also used.
