Bonfim de Bahia wish bracelets set No. 1

The Bahia bracelets have been a symbol in Brazil for more than 200 years and are increasingly known worldwide. The tradition of the bands started as silk bows with handwritten texts in silver or with ink. Nowadays the straps are worn around the wrist or ankle or tied around the gate of a church. They are also worn on hats, bags and in the interior. However you wear them, they will give you happiness and hope!

You are supposed to tie the Bahia strap with 3 knots and make a wish at each knot. When the band breaks, these wishes will come true! Cutting or breaking the strap has a reverse effect and creates bad luck.

Each color has its own meaning. This set contains the Bahia straps in neon pink (friendship), green (money and growth), yellow (success and intelligence), light pink (patience and understanding) and blue (health, comfort and fertility). You can wear them all yourself, but they are also very nice to give as a present!
