    The Kandi Beadz Idea Originated At An Electronic Music Festival Three Years Ago

    Kandi Beadz® LLC is an accessory brand, based in Industry City, Brooklyn, NY. It offers DIY kits for blinking pony beaded bracelets that create friendship and memories among young people. Friendship bracelets are very literal within our culture, they represent a feeling of true connection. People become excited when they receive a handmade keepsake from someone they experienced a bond with. Kandi Beadz® donates part of the proceeds to philanthropy foundations that help young homeless people find their way off living on the streets. These luminous icebreakers make perfect gifts and conversation starters ☆ From an interview with Victoria: "It began three years ago, when I went to an Electric Zoo Festival and saw a huge number of people wearing beaded bracelets up to their elbows! They were sharing and trading them with each other and having an amazing time. But not of their bracelets lit up. I went home and started designing and additional element to this accessory. In childhood my favorite pass time was making new fashion creations. Now, my school age son has been helping me with ideas & new patterns of color, and researching fresh, young trends. First we opened a store on Etsy, then the company evolved. As a mother of a teenager I know about the struggle young people go through to find work and build experience. Our team has developed a solution in a box". It is a fun way to make a few extra dollars, as well as add some solid lines on a resume: event planning, fashion accessory design, managing social media campaigns, merchandising, craft work, electrical engineering (light emitting diode), workshop leadership and more!" A dazzling idea for birthdays parties and gatherings. This is a great venture for teenagers who want to make some extra income working from home. Kandi Beadz® donates part of the proceeds to help young homeless people find their way off living on the streets. Take a step and make your contribution today!
