INNER TUBE BRACELET
$35.00

Inner Beauty

Leave the doilies at your grandma's house; these lace pieces are built for the road. Barbi Touron and Aaron Shear give intricate lacework an industrial edge with their bold bracelets made from inner tubes collected from bike shops around Portland, Oregon. Each salvaged strip of material is carefully washed and coated in an organic plant-based formula, which gives each accessory a supple texture and a lasting luster.

The couple draws their inspiration from a range of different objects—from kaleidoscopic reflections to impressive trussed bridges—and as a result, each unique piece possesses a distinct attitude that's fit to complement any wearer's individual style; while one bracelet may evoke the starkness of a tribal tattoo, another may suggest the delicacy of butterfly wing. Handmade in Portland, Oregon.
