Monocle’s Support Japan Bracelet is embossed with “Support Japan” on one side and “Brooklyn Tokyo x Monocle” on the reverse. It has an adjustable button fastening and uses leather from tanneries in the Miyagi region, where the earthquake and tsunami struck. Made in Japan – for Japan.
Proceeds to go to Civic Force: “Civic Force responds to domestic humanitarian disasters in Japan. Currently, we are delivering urgently needed relief services in the hardest-hit isolated areas of Northeast Japan following the massive earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011.”
In general I consider Monocle goods a ripoff — but I think this is a nice effort, at a modest price, and for a good cause. I ordered one.
