About the Item
The Lesser Antilles are a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea. Most of them are part of a long, partly volcanic island arc. Antigua and Barbuda is perfectly placed within the Lesser Antilles as a gem in its own right, as the jumbie bead seeds of the Antilles bracelet signify our prominent and vibrant presence within the Antilles of the Caribbean.
This piece is of the artistic expressions that are Wild Tamarind and Jumbie Bead seedwork, botanical in nature, and unique to the twin-island Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda. This scenic space in the Caribbean sea is home to 100,000 persons and was initially inhabited by Amerindians. The island has a past binding its people to a history of enslavement. As exemplified by the Botaniqué line of products, traditional artisanship is one of the few remaining intangible cultural skills that keep the island’s heritage alive.
This item is from our Sui Generis line. Sui Generis is a Latin-derived phrase meaning one of a kind, which summarizes the pieces of this collection. Every Sui Generis piece is unique and has a stock of one. If you purchase anything from this collection, you will be the only one to have it, as these items are rare patterns and do not restock. You may use ideas from any of these designs in the creation of a custom item (email to inquire), as with all our wares. Still, these specific pieces you must buy while you can before they’re gone forever.
