Introducing the Shark Bracenet II

Save the seas, wear a net, save sharks! Bracenet is back with the Shark Bracelet II and we couldn’t be more proud to be the first US shop representing their mission. Every year, 640.000 tons of fishing nets are lost or dumped at sea. They lose their purpose, but not their function and keep on fishing as they drift through the oceans. Millions of marine animals get caught in these so-called ‘ghost nets’ and suffer a cruel death. Bracenet recovers the nets and handcrafts them into Bracenets in Germany, upcycling a piece of real fishing net for every product. And with every recovered ghost net, sharks regain control over their territory. Take a stance and wear a net. For ever Bracenet sold on their site, 2€ is donated to yours truly.
