Hora de Oro’s Counted-Weave Bracelets

Field notes

The bracelets are built from werregue palm fiber that is dried, dyed, and woven under tension into bronze wire without a core. The site describes the pattern as counted rather than drawn, with each pass contributing to the finished form; its two-centimetre cuff therefore takes longer than its width suggests. Hora de Oro says pieces arrive in cotton pouches tagged with their origin, while wholesale orders begin at 20 pieces and imports occur three times a year.
