These were made for us by children in programs run by the Sao Cipriano Foundation in Brazil. The foundation runs schools, clinics, and vocational programs in the poorest shanty towns of Rio de Janeiro, and proceeds from these bracelets were donated to the Foundation. They are ridiculously stylish and come in a precious envelope that makes an amazing gift, and tells the story of how these bracelets help people living in extremely difficult circumstances. Want beach ware? Then THESE win the prize as how much cooler does a beach get than Rio??
