Name Bracelets
We are a small but growing business, making personalized, macramé name bracelets. We have two locations: one in Seattle, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States; and one in New Orleans, Louisiana in the U.S. Gulf coast. We handcraft each bracelet locally, and our primary retail locations are right downtown at Seattle's historic Pike Place Market, where we have been doing business since the beginning of 2006; and in the French Quarter at New Orleans' French Market, where we have been operating full-time since the end of 2012. If you are going to be in the neighborhood, we'd love for you to drop by and say hello. We are open most days, but we may be in different locations within each market, so please Contact Us (preferably by phone) if you plan on stopping by. We can tell you exactly where to find us.
We love our customers!
When you give us your business, you won't just get a bracelet, but our sincere appreciation as well. We have noticed that (in general) customer service is not what it used to be. As a customer, when a merchant or company goes out of their way to make you happy, you might find yourself thinking, "Wow! They were SO nice." We think it is unfortunate that great customer service has become the exception rather than the rule. But we view that as an opportunity to make our customers think that we are really nice, and to want to do business with us again.
The Name Bracelet Crew
Mo is originally from Bangkok, Thailand, where she lived until 1999. After receiving a degree in social work, she moved to New Orleans, Louisiana USA to pursue a degree in nursing. Between school days, on weekends and holidays, she made and sold name bracelets in the French Market, which is located in the French Quarter neighborhood of New Orleans. After Hurricane Katrina, she and her husband Adam relocated to Seattle to sell name bracelets in Pike Place Market. She works at the market occasionally, but spends most of her time working at home, maintaining an inventory of the most popular names that are kept on display in the booth at the Pike Place Market.
Adam was born in Boston, Massachusetts USA, but has lived all over the United States. He sold macramé bracelets from 1995 until 2000, when hemp jewelry was very popular.
