Peacebomb Olympics Continents Bangles by ARTICLE 22!

Anyone catch the Olympic games last night? Or watch it on youtube the next day? Last night I stayed in with a friend and watched the swimming and gymnastics competitions. I was so happy to see Gabby Douglas win gold last night, I almost cried. Her amazing athletic ability as well as that bright smile just warmed by heart. I think that's what won her first.

I've been finding all of these amazing Olympic themed accessories lately and I thought I'd include these amazing bangles into the mix. Article 22's Peace Bomb line created the Continents Bangle collection in honor of the Olympic games in London. Each hand cast and finished single bangle or set is wrapped with nylon (colors) or leather cord (black) and comes with a handwoven organic cotton drawstring pouch and story card. Due to the handmade nature of these bracelets, each piece varies slightly in shape, size and texture. 

The greatest thing about these bangles, besides their ability to go well with any outfit, is that the money you pay for them assists a good cause. Article 22 does many great things for the local and global community. Their local mission is to diversify income generating opportunities for subsistence farmers doubling as artisans, grow capital for the locally-managed Village Development Fund and collaborate with local NGOS and experts in bomb removal and education. Globally, Article 22 funds clearance of unexploded ordance from Loa fields, forests and farms and raise awareness of war legacies and the need to ban cluster munitions.

So help their many causes and purchase one or more of the Continental Bracelets. Chicness contributing to an amazing cause. Check out their website for more information here.
