There’s a reason the friendship bracelet has long been the sartorial symbol of platonic love. Colorful, characterful and one-of-a-kind, it’s an apt embodiment of what true connection feels like. As we get older and our relationships (hopefully) mature, there’s something lovely about the humble friendship bracelet evolving with us. A favorite for over twenty years, the Lucky bracelets’ charms and intricate woven style are the grown-up version of a childhood classic.
Here, we take a closer look at some of the dynamic duos we admire, whether they’re friends, sisters, or mothers and daughters. Because let’s face it, there’s something about true female companionship that’s just so intriguing; the bond between women— how it blossoms, survives and thrives over time.

In the twenty plus years since, it’s become the go-to for stylish Londoners looking to give their wardrobe a timeless French twist. Meanwhile, the sister’s bond, like their taste, has only gotten stronger.
