Hi, I’m Geri, the maker behind Handmade by Geri.
I was born in Bulgaria and have lived in Manchester for the past 20 years. I’ve always enjoyed crafting and making things by hand.
In Bulgaria, we have a tradition of giving each other red and white thread bracelets on 1st March as a wish for good health and prosperity. We call them martenitsi. For many years, I made them for friends and family. Eventually, I thought, why not share them with the wider Bulgarian community in the UK, others who celebrate this tradition, and anyone who would like to discover it? That’s how it all began — as a hobby that gradually grew.
Over time, I began exploring other bracelet styles, colours and techniques. I enjoy working with cords, beads and charms, combining colours and textures to create macramé bracelets, simple cord designs and beaded pieces.
I make each bracelet myself and love seeing separate materials come together into something someone can wear and enjoy.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and visit my shop. I hope you find something you’ll love, whether it’s a little treat for yourself or a thoughtful gift for someone special.
Warm wishes,
Geri
