Cruciani bracelet goes Hawaiian
Koi Boutique has launched the Hawaiian Cruciani Bracelet, a spin on the Italian brand’s classic, feminine lace bracelet. Like all Cruciani bracelets, the Hawaiian version is crocheted using 100 percent Italian macrame lace produced by the textile artisans of the Arnaldo Caprai Gruppo Tessile company. The local version features an intricate hibiscus design.
Cruciani bracelets gained popularity in Italy in 2011 before rapidly spreading throughout Europe and Japan. The hibiscus-design bracelet is available at Koi Boutique in 14 colors and retails for $20.
The boutique is in the Royal Hawaiian Center, which offers one hour of free parking with validation for a $10 minimum purchase.
