"How do I care for my special WTW pieces?"
Just treat them like they’re special. Don’t get too nervous; each woven piece has multiple coats of polyurethane to protect it, but still… exercise love. Especially if it includes fossil, don’t bang it on your board. Get a splash over the rail? Just washing your hands? A few drops won’t hurt, but leave your bracelet at the dock before heading out for the first warning gun. Or picnic.
How do I know if my bracelet will fit?
We have found our standard/Medium cuffs fit 80% of women. They have a little “play” in them, so just squeeze or expand GENTLY to find the perfect fit.
We have only sizes XL, M, and XS on purpose. For an adult male, order XL.
For most adult women, order M. For an adult woman with a particularly large or particularly small wrist, select the XL or XS sizes. For young girls (age 6-12ish), order XS. For miniature children, age 0-6ish, order Childrens.
Still not sure? Measure your wrist in inches and
email us. We’ll help you through the decision.
Yes! They look awesome on our favorite guys. Just order size XL.
If you’re not sure if your guy will go for it, start him off with a keychain. Those work for everyone, everyday!
"Do you have any additional designs?"
Yes, coming soon! We’re always weaving, and we’re always dreaming. We have exciting new designs in prototype. Stay connected so we can show YOU first!
"Do you weave and sell the lightship baskets too?"
"What do I need to know about the use of ivory?"
While our designs are all rooted in America’s history when ivory whale teeth were carved aboard clipper ships, we applaud today’s protection of ivory. We use ethically and legally sourced fossil and adhere to all federal and state regulations. In fact, ironically the fossils we use today is MUCH older than the whaling trade.
Remember learning about the Woolly Mammoth? Well, the woolly mammoth’s tusks have been fossilized, under ground for 20,000 – 100,000 years in parts of the world like Alaska and Siberia.
Some laws vary by state and it is the customer’s responsibility to know your local ivory laws.
