Loom bands are basically little elastic bands that can be woven into bracelets, necklaces and charms. They were invented in 2011 by Cheong Choon Ng, who conceived of the idea when he saw his two daughters fashioning bracelets out of elastic bands.

He tried to join in, but found his fingers were too big. He then set about creating a plastic loom with which one could weave jewellery. After the newfangled contraption won the approval of his daughters, he began to manufacture the loom and created a kit aimed at beginners. And a craze was born.

Since our bracelets are made to order, there are no refunds.
