Epimonia, the fashion and accessory brand, offers the Refugee Bracelets in four vibrant colorways — black, red, orange, and blue. As its name suggests, the bracelets are designed to support various refugee communities, and the brand donates 50% of all its profits back to the communities.
Each bracelet is handmade by refugees in Minnesota and made with recycled life-vest worn by refugees during their dangerous journey across the mediterranean sea. This is an especially difficult feat as many travel over 400 miles for safety, and the harrowing journey, unfortunately, means many lose their lives in search of a safe place to live.
The Epimonia Refugee Bracelets are a great sustainable gift for conscious consumers and can be purchased online.
