Antique Textile Bracelets by Barrett Alley

I received my Chotto Matte Bracelet and Weimar Bracelet from Barrett Alley a couple weeks ago. The Weimar Bracelets is made of NOS German linen plaid fabric from the 1920s while the Chotto Matte bracelet is made of NOS Japanese coral-colored cotton fabric that is naturally dyed from the early 1900s. Both bracelets have antique botton closure and vegetable tanned leather sewn to each end with Irish linen threads.




















































The Chotto Matte fabric will age over time and develop a fade pattern. After a couple weeks, one can already see how the antique fabric will age.

The inner part of the bracelets that comes in contact with my wrist.
























































Weimar Bracelet's red, white, and blue linen fabric is more subtle and goes well with almost everything.
