Sharing the way people around the world use ribbons is always exciting. However, there is not a lot of new information that Coller Industries can add to using cultural wish ribbons. But we are always supportive of the different ways people in every culture and community use their custom ribbons. So, wear your wish ribbons, promise ribbons or fitas proudly!<\/p>\n\n\n

Wish ribbons have been around for a long time. Fitas, or Bonfim Ribbons, were originally made with silk and the printing was done by hand with ink or silver. They were worn around the neck and often had medallions and holy images hung on them. Today the ribbons are worn as good luck charms and symbolize a belief in miracles both big and small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People all over the world still celebrate this tradition, but the tradition has extended to tying the Bahia Bands onto the church gates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Secured with three knots and traditionally known as good luck charms, these ribbons are so much more than a simple accessory. Each knot corresponds to a secret desire until the bracelet breaks. At this point, the wishes will come true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Borrowing from the Brazilian ritual of fitas, or wish ribbons, these colorful bands are tied to a person\u2019s wrist in three knots. On the Komen 3-Day, we tie knots to honor the past, create hope for the future and celebrate the steps we\u2019re taking today to end breast cancer.<\/p>\nFrom Susan G. Komen “The 3-Day Blog”<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Some people even use wish ribbons on athletic shoes, bags and even their car for protection and safety. These ribbons serve as a reminder of your wishes and promises. They are an excellent way to recognize ethnicity and support for each other!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
