These simple, handsome bracelets, $5 to $8, are made by Costa Rican artisans, with 1 percent benefiting Surfrider Foundation. The company behind this wrist party gone awesome is Pura Vida.
(San Diego Chargers! kine, 5 dolla)
Pura Vida started when a couple of grads took a trip to Costa Rica to celebrate officially being grown up, and met man selling bracelets on the roadside. They requested some to take home, sold them like hotcakes, and decided to keep it going. Now, they employ 15 Costa Rican artisans, and Jorge is doin' good. (Full story)
(Beachie Bead 4, $8)
They also have platinum bracelets and bracelets with a cause (besides the plain $5 thread ones and the $8 beaded). I can't see anyone not having a thing for these. Perfect for beachside or surf sesh ... may need.
