I don't know about you, but I like knowing where my products are made. Knowing the back story behind the design and the people who manufacture them. It makes you feel so much better supporting an authentic brand and gives you a story when people ask you where you bought it.

That's why I connected with Anchor & Crew. All of their accessories are designed and made in Great Britain in small batches. You can talk directly with the team and see exactly how everything is made. It's just cool and real and authentic... And stylish, obviously.

I love silver cuffs, so that's the first thing I picked up. This paddle bangle is a great Spring update to a cuff and right on the nautical trend. All of A&C's designs take naval history and add a modern twist.

I have tiny baby wrists so the Captain made a small one just for me! You can see it being made below. How cool is that!?
