About Allie & Me.

Allie & Me is a company with a love for style and elegant handmade adornments. We create timeless collections that embrace femininity by combining special materials and artisanal details. Our bracelets and earrings are crafted with unique beads and components that are sourced from Africa, Europe, Indonesia, and the United States. Every piece has a story. 

Note that each piece is unique, so there may be some variations in color, size, and pattern from the items pictured. The pictures are intended to create an impression of the designs created by the artisan. This reflects the handmade nature of the items and the sourcing of upcycled materials. It also adds to the individuality and uniqueness of each item, as no two products are the same.

As part of our mission to empower women and families, Allie & Me gives back a percentage of our profits to charities.

A glance at our artisans at work.

Many of our collections are made of ethically sourced, handcrafted beads from artisans around the world. We love materials like recycled glass, hammered brass, and unique objects. 

BALI COLLECTION

The Bali Collection includes beautiful cuff bracelets that are made by group of creative artists and designers in Indonesia. They use repurposed tires and inner tubes, army tents, plastic bottles, and magazines, to create stylish upcycled jewelry. Their mission is to show people what can be achieved with unwanted and discarded materials and inspire people to live a more sustainable and environmentally conscious lifestyle.

The group of artisans diverts ‘waste’ materials from landfill sites, which prevents potentially harmful environmental impacts and reduces the demand on the world’s natural resources. They are committed to sourcing products from within a 20km radius of their workshop, thereby reducing their carbon footprint.

All of the products are finished by hand and held to a high standard of quality. Each product has an individuality and uniqueness that you won’t find with mass produced items, due to natural variations in the materials sourced.

Red earth beads

Based in Ghana, Red Earth Beads creates beautiful African treasures. Unique materials include locally produced beads, recycled glass and metals.
