Portland designer Maple (not affiliated with Maple skateboards) makes earrings, bracelets, rings and purses from used skateboards. Sure, that’s been done before, but this is a slightly different take. It’s mostly geared towards gals, but I could see the bracelets going over well in some circles of skateboarding, like the Ipath crowd. The hexgaon shaped one looks cool. Is there a macho word for “bracelet?” Maple is at the mercy of finding used decks with dyed plies to make her craft more interesting. Extra bonus, part of the proceeds from some sales go to a skateboarding charity to be determined. Both owners of the SPS acronym ( 1 and 2 ) were being considered. Maybe Maple can fill in the blank. Check it out.

If I were to convince my boyfriend to wear a bracelet, I’d call it a man band, or bling for the king.
Oh god.

it was Dan Wilkes who hated “the wrist bangle bullshit”. Personally I like bangles, always have.

I saw a gal with these last night at Movie Madness. She was rocking the earrings. They look really nice.
