If you have been known to wear your heart on your sleeve, the Helping Hands bracelet from The James Street Initiative could be right up your alley. Made from the finest quality Australian leather that has been sourced from regional communities and donated by AusTANNERS, the bracelets have been lovingly crafted by some amazing community volunteers who spent their Sundays with the crafty folk from Blue & Grae cutting, embossing and threading buttons to create this one-of-a-kind piece. The bands feature solid brass hardware and are hand embossed with the words ‘Helping Hands’ on the top – a nod to the people who made this project happen as well as a little reminder that you too have been part of something special. The unisex embellishments are one size and measure 23-centimetres long by 1.5-centimetres wide with two clasps for comfortable sizing.
The proceeds from every $15 bracelet sold will be split evenly between the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) and NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service (WIRES). Keen to buy? Jump over here to nab yours with $2.50 flat-rate shipping Australia wide or you can opt to click and collect and pick it up in person at Museum of Small Things (M.O.S.T) at The Calile Hotel.
