Bracelet | Bonda | 5 strands
Information
This bracelet is handmade by skilled craftswomen in Nepal. It is made with re-used glass beads from necklaces originally worn by women of the Bonda tribes from Odisha, India. They typically wear dozens of glass bead strings as their main form of clothing.
The old glass beads were worn for decades by Bonda women. The Bonda are tribal people who currently live in the hills of Odisha in India. Bonda women only wear a loincloth. Their torsos and heads are covered in strings of colourful beads.
In Nepal the old glass beads from these strands are re-used to make the bracelets. The beads are strung on new cotton threads. The knotted sliding closure in the bracelet makes it suitable for almost every wrist. The size is adjustable from 16 - 22 cm.
The bracelets are packed on a display card of handmade paper.

Handmade with love and happiness; that’s the core of the Koperberg collection. From our unique Wishing Flags to relaxing yoga pillows, each of our products bear the Koperberg signature; Dutch design combined with traditional craftsmanship. Since the 60’s - when Theo and Willemien Koperberg founded our company - we have been working closely with small family businesses and social enterprises in Asia. Just like us, they’re passionate to keep old crafts alive and to create sustainable livelihoods. Our story begins with Theo and Willemien who started a wholesale business in the 60's. Every year they traveled through India for weeks to buy the most beautiful tribal art, rare antiques and vintage pieces. Each piece was selected based on craftsmanship and appearance. They also visited Nepal to buy the beautiful handicrafts of the Newari craftsmen. Since Monique Abels took over her in-laws' company, many things have changed. With her background in marketing, Monique builds a bridge between the craftsmen from India and Nepal and the European market. Together with Dutch designers, Koperberg develops conscious gifts and items that fit perfectly into eclectic interiors. And most important we are a social conscious company; social responsibility is our top priority. Our products are produced under fair conditions in India and Nepal, we support various social projects and we take actions to minimise our environmental impact.
