The Louise Bracelet – Antiguan Seedwork Handicraft

About the Item

Capturing the mixture of tradition and vibrancy, the Louise Bracelet is a part of our “Artisan Collection,” lovingly named after one of our Master Seedwork Artisans, Louise Edwards. This unique and handmade bracelet is created with wild tamarind seeds sprinkled with wild tamarind seeds dyed black, perfectly placed within this signature design. This pattern is not only a classic creation for the master seedwork artisans but for the overall island as a typical pattern possessed by Antiguan & Barbudan locales, created just for you. The masterful handicraft of wild tamarind and jumbie bead seedwork is a dying art, with only five women left in the world to create it. Botanique is putting Antiguan and Barbudan seedwork, a tradition whose origins have outlived and transcended its challenging past, on the global stage but with a message that is undeniably as beautiful and profound as the craft itself.

    Botanique's handmade bracelet is part of the brand's 'Sailing' collection. An ode to Antigua’s rich history with sailing.
