"You won’t find this collection of accessories off the runway, but in an attempt to stay positive, go green, and maintain a true recessionista spirit, I recently discovered Brazilets and caught up with the company’s founder, Kael Robinson. So when Kael explained that Brazilets are a sacred 200-year old fashion accessory that promises to bring good fortune while saving the Amazon rainforest, I got pretty excited.
Cited by US Style Watch and Life & Style magazine’s ‘must style green wear,’ Brazilets are ancient bracelets from Bahia, Brazil that are stylishly worn through Latin America, yet have retained their spiritual significance. It is believed that when the material wears down and the Brazilets fall off naturally, your wish will come true. Brazilets have even caught the attention of celebrities and just last week, Lauren Conrad was spotted wearing multiple colors of Brazilets.
Brazilets are committed to protecting the Amazon Rainforest, and so far, they have planted a couple thousand trees and are working toward 1,000,000 trees by 2010. As Kael explains, “I was inspired even more as the economy and environment keeps affecting everyone's life. I thought it would be great to bring something unique and special that are known for their miraculous healing powers.” And while the Nasdaq may be down and there is a cynic in all of us, this go green accessory is definitely making it on to my list for summer."
