【NORTH WORKS】Arrow Turquoise Bangle BR-8002W

"NORTH WORKS × BARNS OUTFITTERS special collaboration items"

The city of Fussa in Tokyo, about 40 km from the center of the city, has a somewhat American atmosphere, partly due to the Yokota Air Base. NORTH WORKS is a workshop and atelier in a renovated U.S. military house, where they continue to create products with unchanging value based on basic designs. Each item is made by hand, so each piece has a slightly different face, which becomes the flavor of the item. The 2025 Spring/Summer collection features a special collaboration Native American jewelry series, commissioned by BARNS OUTFITTERS as a tribute to the various Native American tribes and silversmiths that have been central to the brand since its early days. A design combining arrow stamp work and turquoise.

 "Traditional Arrow × Turquoise Design"

For Native Americans, turquoise is more than just a decorative stone—it is considered a sacred stone used in prayers and ceremonies to connect with the spirits. Warriors have worn turquoise as a protective talisman against illness, accidents, and curses, and it has been regarded as a life-giving stone for thousands of years. The arrow, on the other hand, symbolizes protection and is believed to ward off evil when worn as an accessory.

The inside of the ring is stamped with the logos of both BARNS OUTFITTERS and NORTH WORKS. Each stamp is applied by hand, resulting in a one-of-a-kind finish unique to every piece.
