This unique and handmade bracelet is created with wild tamarind seeds dyed black, uniquely and innovatively dyed with shoe dye, and perfectly placed within this signature design.

The original inhabitants of the islands of Antigua and Barbuda were indigenous Taino (Arawak) and the Kalinago (Carib) groups. Taíno was also the native language of the Taíno tribes living in the northern Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and most of the land mass of Hispaniola. We present this bracelet to them, as the ancestors of our island and their fight to attempt to keep their lands safe from colonization. The blood they shed does not go unnoticed.
