Each of the colourful, woven accessories helps to support the artisans who craft them and provides them with a viable way to make an income. The company is also dedicated to keeping the oceans and beaches of the world clean and free of garbage and pollutants. Through a partnership with One Percent for the Planet, the company donates 1 per cent of its proceeds to the [Surfrider Foundation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightbodied-ale) to help take care of the world’s oceans and oceanfronts. They also have a special charity line, and a portion of the sales of each of these bracelets goes toward causes such as Breast Cancer and [Autism research](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spark-financial). **Contact Information** Pura Vida Bracelets [website](http://puravidabracelets.com/) Pura Vida Bracelets on [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/puravidabracelets) Pura Vida Bracelets on [Twitter](http://twitter.com/puravidabrac) Pura Vida Bracelets on [Pinterest](http://pinterest.com/puravidabrac/) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Handmade Accessories:** There is a growing interest in handmade accessories providing an opportunity for artisans to create unique and personalized products. - **Sustainable Philanthropy:** Companies that incorporate sustainable philanthropy into their business model can attract and retain customers who prioritize social responsibility. - **Charitable Product Lines:** Creating product lines that support charitable causes can increase brand loyalty and consumer engagement. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can incorporate handmade, unique accessories into their product offerings while supporting artisan communities. - **Philanthropy:** Philanthropic organizations can partner with companies to create sustainable giving models that benefit communities and the environment. - **Consumer Goods:** Consumer goods companies can create charitable product lines to increase brand loyalty and consumer engagement while supporting important causes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inclusivity-Promoting Four-Piece Bracelet Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourpiece-bracelet-set.md) - [Breast Cancer Awareness Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olaeda-hopeful-heart-bracelet-for-breast-cancer-awareness.md) - [Charitable Jewelry Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anne-sportun-x-the-love-club.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [D2C Artisan Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisan-marketplace1.md) - [Stunning Cause-Supporting Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prayerbowls.md) - [Tribal Art-Inspired Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bharata.md) - [Charming Hair Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clementine-grove.md) - [Sustainably Handcrafted Bag Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tote-of-hope.md)
