Kennedy Sail Rope Bracelet

I cannot tell you how giddy I was to receive my nautical anchor-charm wrap-around bracelet from Kiel James Patrick. As a kid, I read The Preppy Handbook over and over, fascinated by the otherness. So when I found this piece and the KJP brand, my first thought was I can finally be in the club. KJP represents The Breakers part of Rhode Island, not the arty Thayer Street in Providence part that I know. I haven't figured out yet if Kiel is part of someone's name or part of a boat. I am going to guess boat. So anyway, I have been examining the KJP website like an anthropologist or something. The next piece I bought was from the Madras plaid collection, but I'll have to tell you about that another time. I chose the Kennedy Sail bracelet because it seemed the most nautical of colorways -- classic navy and white. Too bad it isn't called The Swimmer by John Cheever Bracelet, who was far more preppy than the Kennedys, but anyway I wanted to be "flying the colors" -- you know, "representing" -- as the preppy kids say. Even better than the bracelet was the logo-printed velvet navy drawstring bag, and the navy linen laid gift box, and the nautical knot tying up the box, and the map-print tissue paper finished with a gold sticker (which I carefully preserved in situ), and even the inside of the box, which was also map print so you didn't even need the tissue paper, but I loved it all the more for that fact. I took photos at every stage of unboxing. I would include a few, I am not sure if I get the option. I'll do an IG post instead.

This is just as described, and the way it was wrapped made for a very special gift.

Wonderful! I purchased this as a gift for my partner and he loves it. He wears it every day! It did take some time adjusting it to fit just right, but it's worth the effort. The quality is great, love the weight of the anchor and that the rope is cotton. The packaging was lovely as well!

Hi KPJ team. This was the first item I ordered from you as I thought it would be a fun for the summer on Cape Cod (where I live). But- there was no set of instructions on how to make it 'fit'. It's basically too large, as I can't get it around my wrist one last time to get it to where it should be for such a bracelet. Maybe that sounds crazy - but I'm a normal male size 6'2 195 pounds so wish there was a way to shorten it easily. Thanks - and this does not cloud my judgement on your company-as it's only a $40 item, so not a big deal.

The gold ancor started to tarish, very sad
