Original Paracord is a U.S. made nylon cord that consists of core of threads in a woven nylon jacket. The word "Paracord" comes from its use by American paratroopers during the Second World War. After a parachute landing, the cord would be cut from the parachute and used for all kinds of applications. Right now, Paracord is used in many military activities, like building camps, attach items, etc. This rope was even used in a space mission for repairing the Hubble telescope. We use four types of Paracord in our products. Its breaking force goes from 45kg (100lbs) up to 340kg (750lbs).

Shackles are the primary connecting link in all manner of rigging systems, from boats and ships to industrial crane rigging subsets, to be connected or disconnected quickly. They are made with a very strong stainless steel, so it can be used in seawater with no problem.

We work exclusively with vegetable-tanned leathers and Shell Cordovan, sourced from Tuscany, Italy. Each hide is produced using traditional tanning methods, free from chemicals and synthetic finishes. Natural dyes, oils, and waxes are used throughout the process, allowing the leather to develop a rich patina and unique character over time. The result is a material that feels authentic, ages beautifully, and reflects true craftsmanship in every piece.

We don't use plastic on the packaging of our products. Both wooden box, for the nautical bracelets, and cotton bag, for the survival bracelets, camera straps and keychains are reusable. Our wooden box is made in Porto, by one of the companies that make wooden boxes for Port wine. All of our packaging is made in Portugal.
