Welcome to HelenandBetty and thanks for visiting my store on Etsy.
I wanted to give you a little insight into how HelenandBetty got started. It came about through a group of friends getting together for crafty Wednesday's. My friends would crochet, laminate and sew. I would usually do my ironing !!!! It was really a chance to catch up and chat about what is going in our lives. One day my friend Melissa taught me how to make leather wrap bracelets and I was hooked. I started making them for friends and family and soon everyone wanted one. I decided to start a part time business and set up the name HelenandBetty. The inspiration for the name came from my nana Betty. She was always glamorous and loved fashion as much as I do.
For the past couple of years I have worked locally by word of mouth, repeat business and at holiday bazaars. I decided to join Etsy because I think my wrap bracelets are unique compared to others on Etsy. I also believe they are of high quality and great value for money. My designs will transfer from day to evening and really make a difference to an outfit. I know this because I see my friends wearing them regularly. My customers tell me about compliments they receive when wearing a HelenandBetty bracelet.
HelenandBetty bracelets make great gifts for all occasions. I custom make wedding and bridesmaid bracelets; specific college color bracelets and bracelets with your favorite sports team colors - anything you like really. They are great gifts for friends, mom's, grandma's, teachers, kids, teens, auntie's. They can be worn by women of all ages. I have HelenandBetty gift boxes or beautiful drawstring bags and can send your gift directly to the recipient.
And let's not forget the guys, sometimes they are really hard to buy for so I also make leather wrap bracelets for them that look amazing.
My inspiration comes from the women around me, fashion magazines, celebrities, travel. Leather wrap bracelets take a lot of time to design and make and so I started naming them after the people I made them for. Now, you will see I name all my bracelets. It's fun and personal.
Again, thanks for visiting my shop. I hope you see something you like. I will be putting new designs on this site regularly so check back often or contact me and I will custom make something special for you.
