This bangle bracelet is part of the Pop Art line and is called Pecas e Meia(8 1/2 Pieces). The Pop Art line was created by Sobral to represent the passage of Modernity into Post Modernity in the Western culture. This was a rare find in new condition. This is the Programado Azul version which features a blue, green, black and clear stripe motif. It measures 1 1/2" in width. This is part of a huge purchase from the Paris vintage inventory. I purchased whatever they had from the Pop Art Programado line so I do have this bracelet in other sizes plus other items.
The
first United Nations Conference to address environmental degradation was held
in Stockholm in 1972. Already at that time the designer Carlos Sobral was
working with resin and creating new techniques and alternative products to
reuse all the raw material he consumed in the production of his collections.
All Sobral production strictly follows the current environmental standards;
however, Sobral goes further by putting into practice the zero disposal of raw
material. In addition, Sobral jewelry protects fauna and flora when it replaces
what would be made from scarce materials impacting the environment such as
ivory, turtle, precious stones, metals, woods and etc.. The international
recognition of his work took place in New York at the Global Fashion Awards,
WGSM, in 2010, when Sobral received the award of one of the three most
environmentally friendly companies in the world.
Every Sobral piece I sell is signed plus it
either has the Sobral tag or is on the Sobral earring card. Also included is a
Sobral fabric jewelry pouch. Because these are artist made there are no
two pieces which are the same and all my ads have the photo of the exact piece
you will be receiving, unless if I have multiple similar pieces available. No
unfortunate surprises when you open your parcel. I have full confidence in the
Sobral product which is why I offer a return policy if for any reason you are
not satisfied. If you buy more than one item I will be more than
happy to combine shipping. All my items have been stored in a smoke free
environment.
