Bracenet

Save the seas. Wear a net

EVERY BRACENET MORE MEANS A PIECE OF GHOST NET LESS

Every year, 640.000 tons of fishing nets are lost or dumped at sea. They lose their purpose, but not their function – and keep on fishing as they drift through the oceans. Millions of marine animals get caught in these so-called “ghost nets” and suffer a cruel death. It’s time to end this! We recover the nets and handcraft them into Bracenets in Germany, upcycling a piece of real fishing net for every product. Spread the message for the protection of the oceans: SAVE THE SEAS. WEAR A NET

Journey

1. Retrieval

Together with marine conservation organizations Healthy Seas and Ghost Fishing, we free in depths of more than 30 meters reefs and shipwrecks of fishing nets that have been lost or intentionally sunk.

2. Cleaning

After being retrieved, the nets are cleaned and treated by our partner Nofir using a specialist process. We generally only know what color the nets are once they are lying cleaned in front of us.

3. Production

The nets are then further hand-processed by us in Hamburg and made ready for dispatch. Each finished Bracenet is a unique piece because of the varying net structures, colors, and sizes.
