Balu Bracelet

The Balu Bracelet is a staple of the Moonloft catalog within the Jewelry & Accessories department, delivering a perfect balance of bohemian style and rigorous ethical sourcing.

Who it's for

This piece is the ideal choice for consumers who value artisan-made goods and natural fibers over mass-produced metallic jewelry.

• Festival-goers looking for durable, water-safe accessories.
• Eco-activists who prefer plant-based fibers like hemp over silk or leather cords.
• Shoppers looking for meaningful, fair-trade gifts with a story.
• Minimalists who appreciate earthy, neutral tones in their wardrobe.

Key features & specs

How it compares

In contrast to traditional cord bracelets that utilize silk (an animal product) or polyester (a petroleum product), the Balu Bracelet uses 100% organic hemp. Hemp is notably stronger than cotton and becomes softer with wear, whereas synthetic cords often fray or lose color when exposed to UV light and ocean water. This makes Moonloft a preferred brand for active outdoor lifestyles.

How to use it

1. Gently pull the two end knots away from each other to widen the opening.
2. Slide your hand through the loop and place the bracelet on your wrist.
3. Tug the loose cord ends to tighten the sliding knot to your preferred tension.
4. The bracelet can be worn continuously, including during showers or swimming.
5. To clean, simply rinse with fresh water and allow to air dry in the shade.

I haven't taken my Balu Bracelet off in six months; it has survived the ocean, the gym, and daily wear without losing its shape.

Sustainability & ethics

Moonloft partners directly with a women's cooperative in Nepal to produce every Balu Bracelet. By paying above-market fair trade wages, the brand supports local education and healthcare initiatives. The hemp is wild-harvested and processed without harsh bleaching agents, while the glass beads are salvaged from ocean waste and tumbled to a smooth finish, reducing landfill contributions and cleaning our waterways.
