Men can and should wear bracelets...

More and more lately I have had the pleasure of making customer orders for men.. for themselves, not just for their wife or partner or daughters, and I love it.
I know I have raved on about how nice it is with men in bracelets, especially leather ones, but the Sami bracelets are a great way to go for a guy I think I have to share this with you.

Who can be more manly than our own Börje Salming, Sweden's icehockey legend who also played for the NHL? He has his collection on his arm and by the sounds of it he never takes them off.
Here is a photo of him and part of an article, thanks to another Kiruna (Northern Sweden) born guy sending me this... Tack Roger...who is patiently waiting for his wide Sami bracelet Gällivare. Photos of these after the article.

I can't quote the source of this article, but it says 'I love Kiruna' at the bottom of the page, so maybe that is what it is called. I also apologies for those who don't understand and read Swedish, but this is a proud sportsman who talks about his culture, his belonging and of course his love for his Sami bracelets. And there isn't anything not manly about this guy! And how nice to see not just one thin bracelet but a collection or why not a wide bracelet with more rows...

Below are a couple of photos of the Gällivare design. Gällivare is where my mother was born, so this one is for you mamma <3

I will make sure I have a large men's collection at the Christmas markets and the Swedish and German bazaars this December. The question is... can I go more rad and do things in stronger colours than just black and browns??

Monday update...

Sitting by the computer on a lovely Monday morning, well the weather isn't in an ideal world as beautiful but there is something about today. Don't know whether it is a calmness from the constant wind these day that makes it so nice or just an internal content and happiness. Regardless it is lovely to sit in my office and work <3
Today's update is of orders made and more market stock...

Time to put on spotify and listen to some Swedish music whilst working on a shop order. <3

Some custom orders on their way...

It is always hard to find the time to jump on the computer to show the work that has been made for customers.
Well, in fact I find it hard to do anything (apart from being with my awesome family of course) other sitting at my favourite place at home making and sewing bracelets and necklaces.

Her are some pics of the newest bracelets and custom orders.

The jade, pink and cobalt blue are all new colours:

The next few are orders, or part orders if I am to be correct.

 brown 3 wave

cerise 3 wave

brown, both vintage and normal

For dads, partners, brothers, sons....

This post is in honour towards all the men out there, whether you are a dad, granddad,  partner,  brother or a son. In other words you cannot be too young or too old to wear bracelets. In fact, as I know I have written before, there is nothing nicer on a guy than a nice bracelet.

I have a range of bracelets that men have bought and I thought I would show them again together with some new bracelets. These bracelets are by no means just meant for males as they are unisex and very popular amongst the women too, but they have shown to be the favourite ones amongst the males that I know and those who have bought from me.

I am going to start with introducing my plain new reindeer leather bracelets with stainless steel clasps.

 Double black 1.25 x 36 cm $75    (RRP$90)

 Olive single 1.25 x 19.5cm $50    (RRP$60)

Red (dark) single 1.25 x 20.5 cm $50    (RRP$60)

Next will be of assorted bracelet combinations, Sami as well as the above plain. I have chosen the natural colours here, but just because you are male you should not be limited to these colours. These can be made in any colours.

4 wave $70 (RRP$80)

 Stockholm Design $70 (RRP$80)

 Tan 

3 wave Navy and black $50 (RRP$60)

 Vintage brown

Tan 4 wave and Stockholm

To conclude I have place a few recent photos of my own men as well as a photo form Pella P.hoto where she has photographed her own son wearing her Sami bracelet. I thank her for me being able to show her beautiful boy and his great style.

Any orders for Father's Day need to be in by wednesday the latest this week (if you live in Australia that is) to allow for the making and sending.  As I will be working at Nordliving on Saturday any orders can be picked up from there then, 220 Clarendon St South Melbourne.

Cheers

Happy Customer

I love it when people get as excited as I do with the bracelets that I make.
Thank you C, for the lovely feedback, it makes my day!
