Uncovering a Forgotten Treasure
When individuals find these forgotten treasures and ask themselves “what is this?”, they typically have no idea that they found a vintage leather braid wrap. As a result of their rolled leather design, metal accents and dangling leather laces, many are misclassified as sheathes or keychain accessories. However, they were specifically designed to wrap around a braid and secure it with leather laces.
Some incorporate adjustable lacing or cinch beads to keep the wrap securely in place. While they are primarily decorative, they do provide functionality to the wearer by securing the hair in a neat and comfortable manner.
Why They Are Making a Resurgence
Growing interest in bohemian and Western inspired clothing and accessories has sparked a resurgence in demand for leather braid wraps. Both the handmade craftsmanship and vintage aesthetic of them offer consumers a unique alternative to mass-produced accessories. Leather artisans are now creating new leather braid wraps. Additionally, vintage original leather braid wraps can be found at flea markets and on-line.
