Who doesn’t get a rush of nostalgic joy overcome them whenever they see an old-school friendship bracelet? Not only do they remind us of the camp days we’d stack them on our arms, but they’ve also made a comeback as a go-to summer accessory in the past few years. (i.e.: Dior Resort ’18. Friendship bracelets can be as chic as they are fun!) Miriam Salzman, the artisan behind the Etsy shop Summer of String, is bringing that nostalgia with an adorably geeky twist.

About Summer of String

Summer of String may have just celebrated its 5th anniversary this month, but Miriam made friendship bracelets long before then. She started at just eight years old. As she got older and moved onto college, she missed the tradition of making bracelets at summer camps and decided it was something she wanted to continue doing. Two weeks after her college graduation, Summer of String was born.
