FOR WORLD KINDNESS DAY, THE RASTACLAT TEAM GAVE BACK BY HOSTING AN EVENT TO BENEFIT I SUPPORT THE GIRLS, A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION THAT HELPS PROVIDE BRAS AND MENSTRUAL HYGIENE PRODUCTS FOR GIRLS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, SOME OF WHOM HAVE BECOME HOMELESS AS A RESULT OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. WE BELIEVE IN THEIR MISSION SO MUCH THAT THIS IS OUR SECOND TIME HOSTING AN EVENT WITH THEM! FOUNDED IN 2015 BY A WOMAN NAMED DANA MARLOWE, I SUPPORT THE GIRLS HAS SINCE BECOME AN INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT. 

WE GOT TOGETHER (IN A SOCIALLY DISTANCED MANNER) AND COLLECTED WOMEN’S UNDERWEAR AND MENSTRUAL HYGIENE PRODUCTS TO DO OUR PART. WE ALSO DONATED OUR SEEK THE POSITIVE BRACELETS AND INCLUDED HAND-WRITTEN NOTES OF ENCOURAGEMENT FROM OUR TEAM. WE CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THIS ACT OF KINDNESS WILL PUT A SMILE ON SOMEONE’S FACE AND HELP THEM STAND TALL WITH DIGNITY.

THE SAGITTARIUS BRACELET CHANNELS THE ELEMENT OF FIRE AND IS THE 9TH ASTROLOGICAL SIGN IN THE ZODIAC. BORN BETWEEN NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21, SHE IS OPEN-MINDED, OPTIMISTIC, ENTHUSIASTIC, ENDEARING AND PLAYFUL.

ALWAYS SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS, SHE LOVES TO LAUGH AND HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR HERSELF. THE SAGITTARIUS WOMAN DESIRES FREEDOM AND THEREFORE SPENDS A LOT OF HER TIME TRAVELING, DISCOVERING AND EXPLORING DIFFERENT CULTURES AND PHILOSOPHIES.

INSPIRED BY AN ICONIC SNEAKER THAT TRANSCENDS TIME, THE DUCK CAMO BRACELET IS HERE TO STAND OUT, NOT BLEND IN. THE BRAIDED DESIGN FEATURES HALF CAMO PRINT AND HALF BLACK TO MIMIC THE COLORS FOUND ON THE SNEAKER + INFRARED ACCENTS TO FURTHER AMPLIFY THE LOOK. 

CAMO HAS BEEN PART OF STREETWEAR CULTURE SINCE THE 1980S, AND IS HERE TO STAY FOR GOOD. MANY KIDS WOULD SHOP AT ARMY/NAVY SURPLUS STORES TO FIND INEXPENSIVE CLOTHING THAT WAS DURABLE AND GAVE THEM A FEELING OF BEING TOUGH. SINCE, DESIGNERS HAVE UTILIZED CAMO TO MAKE A STATEMENT IN THEIR DESIGNS. 

RASTACLAT PAYS HOMAGE TO THE SNEAKERS THAT DEFINE THIS GENERATION WITH OUR CLATS & KICKS COLLECTION, WHICH IS COMPRISED OF EXCLUSIVE BRACELETS INDEPENDENTLY DESIGNED TO COMPLEMENT TODAY’S MOST SOUGHT-AFTER AND INFLUENTIAL SNEAKERS.

YOU COULD SAY OUR NEWEST BRACELETS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD. THIS BRAIDED STYLE IS DESIGNED WITH REFLECTIVE TAPE WRAPPED ALL AROUND TO CREATE A HOLOGRAPHIC EFFECT. AND NO TWO ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. DEPENDING ON WHERE THE TAPE WAS CUT AND HOW THE LIGHT HITS EACH BRACELET, THE HOLOGRAPHIC COLORS CAN RANGE FROM PINKISH PURPLE TO BLUEISH PURPLE TO GREEN.

THERE ARE LOTS OF WAYS TO TRIGGER THE BRACELET, BUT SOME OF OUR FAVES ARE TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH FLASH, SHINE LIGHT AT THE BRACELET IN THE DARK AND TO MOVE THE BRACELET ALL AROUND ON YOUR WRIST TO CREATE DIFFERENT HUES.

INSPIRED BY AN ICONIC SNEAKER DESIGNED BY A CONTEST WINNER, THIS EXCLUSIVE MULTI-COLORED PASTEL BRACELET WAS CREATED WITH RUBBERIZED HARDWARE AND DEBOSSED GROUPERS TO MIMIC THE CORDUROY FOUND ON THE SNEAKER. THE COLORS WERE INSPIRED BY VINTAGE SNEAKERS AND WINDBREAKERS FROM THE 80S AND 90S. AND, TO TIE IT ALL TOGETHER, THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND BRACELET COMES IN A CUSTOM COLLECTOR’S BOX THAT CAN BE USED TO SHOW OFF YOUR RASTACLAT BRACELET.

AS YOU MAY KNOW, OCTOBER IS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH AND WE’RE SPOTLIGHTING THE KEEP A BREAST FOUNDATION, WHOSE MISSION IS TO EMPOWER YOUNG PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WITH BREAST HEALTH EDUCATION AND SUPPORT. THE IDEA WAS SPARKED WHEN FOUNDER, SHANEY JO DARDEN’S FRIEND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER. A DESIGNER IN SKATEBOARD CULTURE, SHANEY CREATED BREAST CASTS TO CAPTURE AND COMMUNICATE THE CHALLENGES OF BREAST CANCER IN ORDER TO SHOW HER SUPPORT AND RAISE MONEY FOR HER FRIEND.

NOW, 20 YEARS LATER, THE FOUNDATION IS STILL GOING STRONG RAISING MONEY AND AWARENESS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. THEY RECENTLY LAUNCHED AN APP DESIGNED TO TEACH WOMEN HOW TO DO A SELF CHECK, SET REMINDERS AND CONNECT WITH A DOCTOR IF NECESSARY.

WE BELIEVE SO STRONGLY IN THEIR MISSION, THAT WE DESIGNED AN ENTIRE COLLECTION OF KEEP A BREAST BRACELETS. IN FACT, RASTACLAT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SEEK THE POSITIVE FOUNDATION, HAS PLEDGED TO DONATE A PORTION OF ALL PROCEEDS TO THE KEEP A BREAST FOUNDATION.
