About Fred Bracelet

Et gi vill verschidden Aarte vu Braceleten a Bangles: Designer, gëllen, Plastik, bëlleg an deier… awer schéin wéi se sinn, se sinn all ëmmer einfach an nëmmen Braceleten. De Fred ass eppes méi. Dës Manschetten an hirer Einfachheet erëmbeliewen d'Nobesse vun alen Zäiten, awer si sinn modern. Si kënnen och op bloen Hänn getraff ginn, souwéi op enger Seidbluse oder e schwaarze Pullover, a si wäerten ëmmer en Touch vun der Klass der Persoun droen, déi se dra mécht. Dës Braceleten sinn eenzegaarteg well se als Pair kommen. Si si ganz liicht, wouduerch se et zu Onméiglechkeet bréngen. Andeems Dir se maacht, gëtt ee sécher gemierkt!

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: These bracelets are unique because they come as a pair. They are very light which makes their wearing comfortable
Dimensions & Packaging: Dimension, Package and Technical properties: Cuffs are 13 cm long, 12 cm high and 6 cm wide. They come in pair and are packed in an orange - pink protective pouch tied with the orange bow.
Tags: cuffs, bracelets, accessories, fashion, plastic
Production Technology: Cuffs are made out of light white plastic used for billboards.
Design Challenge: The real challenge was finding the way to bend the material at home without professional machines and to find something that would look as a cuff link. But it also was a work with many gleeful errors.
Research: The research was focused on finding the right dimension for the cuffs and finding the way to make something weareable out of the material ment for something else.
Inspiration: The inspiration: I often go to the theatre and like to dress for the occasion. I like to have something new and different every time I go. Once while I was thinking what to wear this time, there was a movie with Fred Astaire on the TV. I saw his sleek suit, his cuffs… and voila – the idea was born! I remembered cuffs and plastrons worn by men in the last century and decided to revive it in a modern way, this time as a part o woman garment.
Project Duration: The project started in March of 2012. in Zagreb and was finished in two weeks. During that time I was trying to find out the right dimension for comfortable wearing bracelets and the way to bend the plastic at home.
Operation Flow: The research was focused on finding the right dimension for the cuffs.
