Guys, I came across a lovely little online shop called Torrain.org where they sell recycled bags. Basically, the company set out to reduce waste and after being inspired by a woman in Cambodia, another woman named Nyla began collecting bags and turning them into something beautiful, incredible and contributory to reduction in waste and the well-being of the Cambodian artisan, Sothea Yung who happens to be the person that Nyla got her inspiration from.
When I got my hands on two of Nyla's fabulous clutches, I could not wait to show them off, and to share with you guys! Seriously, since this morning when these two clutches arrived, I've admired them all day and so looked forward to getting a few minutes to share about them. They're just fabulous. The clutches are made from, I believe, rice bags or materials similar to that.
I only shared the brief version of Torrain's history, but you can read it in full on Torrain's website by clicking here.
What's behind the name of the company -- Torrain?
"The name is a combination of the word Terrain and the phrase, To Rain. In order for our earth to be
fruitful, rain must fall. Just as in life, usually progress takes place in
light of a fall. Torrain symbolizes this rise and fall by recycling old hazardous
materials into new, vibrant products.
Even more, Torrain’s products are used for travelling,
which encourages people to respect our globe, to preserve it and hopefully, to
recycle.
Defend Your Turf with a Torrain Bag!"
The clutches I have from Torrain are the Tangerine Triangle Pleated Clutch and the Yellow Mermaid Clutch. Both are absolutely beautiful and I just adore the home-made feel and unique style! These awesome products are so exciting to me!
The Yellow Mermaid Clutch is nice and roomy. The large size means while shopping, I can ditch the purse (since the clutch holds all credit cards, ID, and plenty more) and have a chance to show this beauty off!
It has a button-snap and I adore how many card and money slots are in this! I can fit so much in there. The yellow clutch has a nice clear plasticy cover sewn over it, so that makes it even more durable and I love how it looks. Plus, if it's raining out, no worries! It'll just run off the plastic. Very handy.

The Tangerine Pleated clutch is perfect for a super dooper cosmetics holder as well as about anything else you'd need storage for. If you're like me though, you'll be cramming your purse items in the clutch and carrying it alone just to show it off. Both fit in a deep purse, but who wants to hide the unique, stylish little things?
The Tangerine clutch features adorable pleating and a zipper to keep things inside, as well as an inner zip-pouch! I just love the bold bright colors of Torrain's bags. They definitely stand out in a crowd of black and white purses. Seriously, nobody will have a clutch as stylish, cute and unique as one of these -- well, of course unless you're kind enough to let those sad people know where to get one, but you know what I'm saying.
There's other print on the clutches as well. The orange one has some words that I honestly don't know how to pronounce -- they aren't in English, but I thought that made it look even neater!
