Our Story

A Fashion Statement with a Conscience

From Soldier to Soldier is a fund raising and awareness  campaign based on the sales of a designer version of the  survival bracelets worn by many US and allied soldiers in  Iraq and Afghanistan. Significant contributions from the  sales will be donated to Homes For Our Troops, and other organizations assisting wounded veterans  and their families.

The bracelets in the field are braided by the soldiers with  parachute cord. They are known as survival bracelets,  because they can be unraveled and the paracord can be  used for many purposes in a pinch. They are also  exchanged among soldiers as friendship bracelets.   Often, a uniform button is sewn on and used as the clasp.

Symbolism

The button clasp symbolizes the uniform. The clasped bracelet symbolizes the bond among the  soldiers that can never be broken. To some, each knot in the bracelet symbolizes a fallen hero.

Designer Version

The designer version has a sterling silver clasp shaped  like a uniform button and is extremely tightly braided. Sterling silver and gold plated sterling silver heart clasps  with a small diamond are also available.  Special Edition  versions with 14k gold clasps are available on request.

The ‘From Soldier to Soldier’ bracelets are a stylish fashion  statement with a conscience and a powerful fund-raiser in  honor of our veterans. The bracelets are being produced in  the USA.

Original idea: Stefan Hylleborg, a veteran of the war in  Afghanistan.

Designer: Claus Scheelke.
