COURAGE
Regular price $25.00 AUDCOURAGE
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's Courage"
Anais Nin
Courage is our name. In these challenging times as we struggle to keep pace with technology, as inequalities seem to continue to grow, as governments fail to protect our human rights, and we face threats like Coronavirus and Climate Change, Courage is an imperative for most of us, if we are going to find any sort of happiness.
Wearing this silent badge is a reminder to us all that more than ever Courage is something we must all find if we're not already blessed with it. Whether it is starting a new job or school, going to an interview, running a race or facing an operation, or just being happy, Courage is needed.
Size & Fitting
The organic fabric band measures 33cm / 13 inches in length. To fit to size, the length can be trimmed with scissors. Always cut at an angle to minimise fraying of the cotton.
Worn on the wrist or ankles, it is double tied at the back to hold the band in place. The band can be sown onto clothes or onto soft furnishings or used as a decoration.
The Fabric and Yarns
The processes for making the yarns and dyes for our Bands of Courage date back over a thousand years using authentic processes and ingredients which are not just natural, but highly medicinal.
The fabrics and yarns are certified organic cotton used in the manufacture of clothing and our bands begin as greige or unfinished fabric which pass through 5 stages before recycling:-
The dyes used are:-
Haritaki - natural green in colour, it is only grown in parts of the Himalayas and is known as the King of the Herbs. It is a highly potent herb for treating many serious diseases;
Turmeric - a yellow dye, also called 'Indian saffron', it comes from the ginger family and is great for skin complaints;
Indigo - a blue dye from the leaves of the Indigo tincoria, and cures gout amongst other things!
Madder - a red dye known as the 'king of dyes' as it contains alizarin, it is also used as a treatment for pain;
Pomegranate - an ocher-yellow dye which improves colourfastness and as a medicinal herb is great for the heart!
Onion - is used to produce dye colours in shades of orange, yellow, rust and brown, and it's especially good for treating serious skin diseases like Leprosy.
Hand Embroidered Finishes
There are two hand embroidered finished used to create the inscriptions on our fabric bands are Japanese Glass Beads;
Every band is lovingly made by hand with each bead individually sown into the fabric creating unique little differences so no two bands are exactly the same.

REBEL
Regular price $25.00 AUDREBEL
"When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty"
Thomas Jefferson
Rebels are history's romantic heroes and heroines, sometimes revolutionaries and sometimes just great looking men and women with loads of charisma, and sometimes both! Good looking or out to make their mark, all rebels have one thing in common, they changed things and often upset the apple cart in the process. Rebels challenge and often upset the status quo - a healthy thing to do but too much of it and a rebel becomes a rebellion.
For Jefferson, this quote of his is drafted into the Declaration of Independence - if Government does do its duty to protect peoples' "Safety and Happiness" then people must change the government!
Rebels are icons in their sphere of influence, so if you know an icon, this is the band for them!
Size & Fitting
The organic fabric band measures 33cm / 13 inches in length. To fit to size, the length can be trimmed with scissors.
Worn on the wrist or ankles, it is double tied at the back to hold the band in place. The organic nature of the material means it stays put. The band can be sown onto clothes or onto soft furnishings or used as a decoration.

PEACE
Regular price $25.00 AUD"But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself" . . . Peace is needed
Rachel Carson
As a slogan for protest, Peace really got going in the 1960s in the context of a likely nuclear war between the United States and Russia. It was just at that time Rachel Carson was opening John F Kennedy's eyes to DDT and the chemical industry's treatment of the environment.
JFK set out on nature's side and today nature is as much under siege as peoples' human rights. Peace and Love might have be a mantra from the 1960's, but it's a slogan that is coming back into fashion - This is a band for someone who wants to stylishly remind the world that we are fighting wars with nature and amongst ourselves.

REBEL FOR LIFE is a protest slogan which identifies the person holding the banner as 'a rebel' seeking to save lives threatened by Climate Change.
With over 4 million people dying prematurely every year from pollution related diseases and hundreds of animal species becoming extinct every week, there are a lot of lives to be saved!
The Founding Fathers wrote into the Declaration of Independence words to inspire rebellion against government where peoples' lives are at risk and government isn't protecting them.
Rebel for Life is a popular banner at Climate Change marches and makes a great gift a banner to openly protest with elegance, anytime, anyplace, anywhere!
