At the Shambhala Music Festival from July 25–28, 2025, attendees took the beloved Kandi bracelet tradition to the next level by blending handcrafted artistry with tech-savvy innovation. Festival-goers impressed with their collections of high-quality beaded Kandi featuring embedded QR codes that linked to personalized digital content.
Bracelets like “Leggy Blonde” and “Kavorka” were especially memorable, each redirecting recipients to unique videos that enriched the storytelling behind the gift. This marriage of physical and digital made the gifting experience far more interactive and meaningful, sparking lively discussions across social media and festival forums.
The community response was overwhelmingly positive, celebrating the thoughtful craftsmanship and the joyful spirit that these upgraded Kandi bracelets embodied.
