Cuff ’Em

Pin & Tube Floral Bracelets

The last time you were cuffed was outside of Joe Canal’s Discount Liquors when you were 19. And the marks they left weren’t pretty.

For a much more attractive version of your old friend the wrist restraint, grab a few floral cuffs from Pin & Tube.

The Brooklyn-based design collaborative creates a silver- and gold-plated collection of two-inch-thick bracelets bedecked in bright enamel flowers. Each wristlet keeps up with spring’s optimistic floral trend, but we’re partial to the nude-hued and mixed-color bangles.

What’s best is that they’re inexpensive enough that you can snap on a pair.

And put your hands in the air like you just don’t care.

Available at Tony, 47 North Third Street (215-592-8669).
