You know August will be jam packed with pool parties, beach
vacations and lots of fun in the sun as Hipanema bracelet is this summer’s beach attire wonder accessory.
The bracelets were designed by two Parisian girls who met
while vacationing in Brazil. Inspired by the bright colors of Carnival, they
create a bracelet that combined the vibrance and exuberance of Rio with the elegance
and grace of Parisian couture.
The bracelets are a thick gathering of the traditional woven
beach bracelets found on the shores of many Latin countries, but the Hipanema
bracelet doesn’t unravel with wear. Instead of a loose knot holding the band on
your wrist, the bracelets are held together by a simple magnetic metal clasp in
gold or silver.
“I love wearing lots of Brazilian bracelets but having to
tie and untie them one by one till they break became a bore,” said creator Delphine.
“After a couple of years it becomes difficult to keep
wearing the old discolored ties and it's not easy to match them with one’s
wardrobe,” replied creator Jenny.
And that’s how the Hipanema bracelets were born.
The bracelets are ethnic-inspired and their combination or
brightly colored threads, shells , beads and stones compliments the theme of
summer. Their fun and flirty look reminds of vacation. The cuffs can be worn
double or triple and look excellent as an accessory to a brightly colored
swimsuit or, for a pop, against black.
Hipanema now sells swimsuits and bags with tribal
inspiration from the American Indians the Navajo and the Malian tribe the
Bamako among others.
