I took Camara’s New York Tote with black, croc style leather trim to a sushi dinner with friends the other night. Me ‘n the tote had a grand old time gathering compliments.

First to comment was Erin, who liked its simple and sophisticated look and how it was not too big but not too small. But the best thing was her reaction when I told her the outside of the tote was made from recycled inner tubes.

“Wait, what?” she said.
“The tubing inside a tire,” I told her. “Feel it.”
Then she ran her hand down the smooth and soft surface.
“Oh. Okay…So does that mean you could use it as a life preserver if someone fell in the ocean? Like, ‘Oh help! I’m drowning!’ And then you could chuck your purse over the boat to save them?”
Erin is funny.

Next was Rene, who was enthused about finding the perfect phrase to describe it for the blog. She pondered while others commented. Vanessa wanted to know about different sizes and styles, so I told her about the Tri and the Uptown. Jenn wanted to know about different colors so I told her about the jewel toned non-leather trim and the indigo colored denim (my fave). The bag definitely peaked everyone’s fashion curiosity.

Overall, people were most impressed with the fact that the bag is made of recycled materials but doesn’t look like it at all. It just looks like a nice hand bag.

And then Rene summed it up for us by deeming it, “a perfect square of eco-chic-ness.”
Good call, Rene. Good call.
