Reserved here, collected at the stall
This piece is made by hand and lives on the market stall: it doesn’t go into the basket, it gets reserved. Write what you need here — the request reaches Tuscany Market Hub and we pass it on to L’Arte di Creare, who will tell you whether it’s still there, what it costs and where to collect it.

Letter beads strung one after another to spell a name, on an elastic that slips over the hand without a clasp. The rest of the thread is filled with plain beads, and a gilt charm hangs at the centre.
There are four real ones in the photographs, already made for someone: VIOLA with coloured letters and a turtle, CHIARA with white letters and a cat, MARA on pale blue, LOLLO on black, EMMA on white and gold.
The name, the colour of the beads and the charm are decided there and then. It is the piece children ask for at the stall, and it almost always ends up on a small wrist.
