July 18, 200916 yr ok, they have names now! :D left to right: Osaka, Prospekt, Dizzily, Philly, Guy, Twiglet, Ghost, Willy and Chris and Jonny are on my other wrist. Chris is the one that's unraveled a bit, because of his "normal" personality. :P
July 19, 200916 yr wo you will NOT BELIEVE what I found at THE FLEA MARKET yesterday!! i was just waiting for my bus and stopped by at a huge flea market in helsinki (the capital of finland..) and walked around a bit..not shopping really, but just looking. I'd planned on shopping some of the bracelets at the wembley gig (don't they sell them at gigs? :thinking: ) and then my eyes just caught something and I literally ran for mah lifee! lovelyy! and only 50cents!! and then i asked where did the girl get em and she said that her mum had bought them from barcelona from an african woman and they were some kind of charity bracelets or something and i was like DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT THESE BRACELETS MEAN?? :D I wouldve paid 5 euros for em if she wouldve asked :D i've already named some of them, i have: green eyes, litii, bigger stronger(one of the bracelets is a lot bigger then the other ones) and fix you (this one has a small hole innit so.. :D) lol :D 50 cents!! You are the luckiest! :o The one I named "42" broke just now. :( And I lost "Clocks" two days ago which was awful because I've had that one on my wrist since November. I'm down to only 19 now! :o
July 20, 200916 yr my bracelets Got mine about 10 days after ordering them by phone. I'm glad I phoned because I wanted to ask about sizes. There are men's and women's. I have pretty large hands and the men's roll on quite easily, though I wouldn't want them any smaller. Gave two away to a friend who was playing a gig on Saturday - he has very big hands - no problem if you ROLL them on over the widest part of your hand. I'm wearing them 24/7 and no sign of wear or breakage. They didn't have a full multi-coloured set so mine are sort of customized blue. People at the California concerts this week report buying them there too.

July 30, 200916 yr I'm so glad that I found this post when I was at their concert on Monday, they were completely sold out by the time I found the tent that sold them...going to have to get some as soon as possible, they look great!
August 8, 200916 yr I gave 2 of them to my brother, and he is always wearing them. :) I want to buy some more though because mine are getting pretty dang old and i think they'll be breaking soon. :\ I really love them.
August 8, 200916 yr me with the bracelets i wear everyday :smug2: i just recently bought another pack on the 3rd :dance:
August 8, 200916 yr I gave 2 of them to my brother, and he is always wearing them. :) QUOTE] What are the other bracelets he's wearing?
August 8, 200916 yr Ok I will do that, but I bought 2 packs of 10, and 10 are bigger, and they fit, but 10 are smaller and they keep breaking!!! Why is that and how can I fix that??? Seems like 10 of yours are women's and 10 are men's. You can't do much if the smaller ones are breaking because the hand/wrist is too big. If you've tried rolling them gently over the thickest part of the hand/thunb/wrist and still they break, sorry. Keep in mind that they can easily be re-joined, if broken, using super-glue. Just don't glue your bracelet to your eye-brow! Unless, of course, that was your intention. On the bright side, you can give them away (I seem to be asked for one or three after people find out what they're about) and catch a smile. I can't recommend strongly enough that you place orders by phone to the NYC number of Made With Love in Barzil. The cost of the phone call was worth it to get personalized attention and the info I needed to get bracelets that work for me. Not to mention a pleasant conversation with a pleasant woman about Fair Trade and Coldplay! Think I'll call again soon!
August 8, 200916 yr how do you get smaller ones mine seem so big ... i hope i dont have abnormally small wrists...:uhoh:
August 8, 200916 yr phone That's the main reason I phoned - to ask if they fit big wrists/arms. There doesn't seem to be such an option when ordering online. Maybe by email. But that's why I phoned. And again, it was worth it.
August 13, 200916 yr That is so awsome how they are the exact one, if you purchase multi colour. crazy Thanks though
August 13, 200916 yr None of mine have broken! Thank goodness! I still love them as much as I did the first day I got them. <3
August 13, 200916 yr The first set I got a year ago I tried to put them all on and broke one! I got another set so I have 29...I have little hands and wrists so I was mad when I broke one. I think I was just excited though..
August 13, 200916 yr chris[/color]tmas!!! :dance: you just gave a really good, really obvious idea marisa! i've wanted these for so long but i just never ordered them because i either didn't have the money or i was afraid they weren't really my style. i want them really badly though and for some reason i was too stupid to think about asking for them for christmas. :rolleyes: now i'm going to! thanks! :D

August 13, 200916 yr me either :dance: i cant wait! i only have nineteen now. compared to most people on here... im and epic fail in comparison :rolleyes: haha:lol:
August 14, 200916 yr I only have...um...about fifteen, I guess. But mine are kind of small for me. They haven't broken yet, but some of them hurt to put on. :rolleyes: Edit: I found mine in a store in Nantucket. I just saw them and I was like "OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE I FOUND THEM! I WANT I WANT I WANT!" And then I spent all my money on them.
August 14, 200916 yr hehe aww i wish i could find them in a store... no luck yet :( brooke thats a good amount though :thumbsup: see im really into wearing braclets and anklets so the more the better :nice: thats why i need more, but they're cheaper to buy at the concert than online, ($15 compared to almost 40 because of shipping :\) so i guess ill just have to wait to be lucky at a store (yeah right :dozey:) or worse, wait till i go to another concert which could be like two to three years for me :bigcry:)
