Onto a dress. One pair has now carried three garments through a single day.

How to choose yours
Start from the word, not the colour
Most people who buy twice buy the second one for the meaning. Read the eighteen words first and see which one you keep coming back to.
Match the family, not the piece
Every strap is cut to one of four colour families Ivory, Ocean, Earth, Ember. Any strap in a family works with any garment in it.
Buy one, then borrow it everywhere
A single pair moves across a bikini, a top and a dress. Two straps and three garments is already six looks.
Or have one made
If none of the eighteen says it, the Atelier in Bali will string your three stones with you in two hours.
Want to create Your Own ?
Then make the one that does. Two hours at the bench in Uluwatu, your three stones, your phrase.

Questions
A pair of interchangeable jewelry straps, hand-strung in Uluwatu, Bali, from natural semi-precious stones and finished with gold-plated lobster clasps at both ends. They clip onto any Bonjour swim or resort piece, replacing the fabric strap, so one garment can be worn several different ways.
Yes. The stones are natural and the cable is built to take salt water and chlorine. Rinse the strap in fresh water after swimming and dry it flat — the same care you'd give any fine jewelry you swim in.
No. Every strap is made to the clasp point we cut into our own garments, so it fits any Bonjour piece — past, present or future — and nothing else. The system works precisely because it is closed.
Yes — natural semi-precious and natural stones and real freshwater pearl, never dyed glass, resin or reconstituted stone. Because they're natural, colour and veining vary between pairs. Two straps of the same model will not be identical.
Start with the pair you can't stop looking at — colour, shape and the way it catches the light are reason enough. Each stone also carries a single word, and every strap combines three of them into a phrase, so the meaning is there if you want to read it.
Send it back and we'll re-string it by hand. There is a one year warranty on all strap.
Yes, every strap carries a one-year warranty covering anything that fails on our side: the clasp, the cable, the finishing. Beyond that year we still re-string, and the first repair remains free whenever it happens.
