Benitan

Story

"About 4 years ago I found myself constantly looking at my phone…like every 30 seconds. The excuse that I gave was that since I had recently founded a new start up, I could allow myself to constantly refresh my email, social media feeds, anything that would make me feel like I was always busy. I felt that I always needed to be doing something, always receiving information, and what better way than through my phone, a never ending well of new, fast information.

I knew I had to do something to challenge my addiction, so I made a simple bracelet from parachute cord and clasp that held sand, it reminded me that just as the sand on my wrist, my time is limited, why should I spend it glued on my phone? I began to experience the benefits of just being, no agenda, no distractions, just be.

My personal relationships strengthened and my creativity soared. In the coming months, I had made a handful of bracelets for my close friends. Without the pressure of commercializing, it became a personal project to design a bracelet piece that carries message to the world. 3 years later, hundreds of sketches after, we introduce Benitan.”
