Five charms of the WAKAMI bracelet that you may not know about now

Bracelets are an item that increases one’s presence in summer fashion, when the wrist is exposed more and more often. Among the many bracelet brands, “WAKAMI” boasts high popularity and is even showing signs of becoming a standard item. In this issue, we will introduce recommended bracelets while touching on the charms of Wakami, a brand you may not have heard of before!

WAKAMI’s Attraction 1: “You can assist Guatemalan women by wearing the bracelet.”

WAKAMI bracelets are handmade by women living in rural villages in the Republic of Guatemala, South America. The Republic of Guatemala was devastated by a civil war that lasted nearly 40 years, especially in rural areas.

The founder, Maria Pacheco, assembled a fair trade business through accessories to improve such a situation while based in LA. By the way, 90% of the artisans are women from rural areas. We are glad to see a system that allows us to support these women while enjoying fashion in a natural way.

WAKAMI’s Appeal 2: “Bracelets made of wax cord,” which is resistant to water and sweat

A characteristic of Wakami bracelets is that they are “a little stick y” when you first put them on. The reason for this is that the bracelet is made of waxed cord, or waxed string. The coating effect of wax improves water resistance and durability.

Many of Wakami’s basic bracelets are voluminous types that are designed to be stacked, such as 7-strand bracelets. Therefore, depending on how you wear them, they may look too strong on your wrist.
