Rareform - Review

 

Maybe you've seen ads for this brand.

A California brand that repurposes billboards into bags and totes.

So I bought a couple of them.

Taking advantage of their current sale, I picked up a duffle bag and a toiletry bag.

The duffle isn't huge, but it perfect for an overnight.

It is super light, compact, and includes a detachable strap.

I thought I could use it as a swim bag, but I may just use it as an easy travel or

overnight bag. Zipper works smoothly, capacity is ideal to take whatever you need 

for a day trip or short time away.

The Vienna toiletry bag is awesome. It was actually the reason

I decided to check out the rest of the site. 

Obviously, all the colours of the bags are unique, as the materials

come from different billboards. I chose one with several

 different primary colours. Whatever you choose will not

match anyone else's bag.

Pockets, a large zippered compartment, and small zipper

compartment to catch the tiny bits. It all folds out and can be

hung by the built in hook for convenience. 

I put all my standard travel stuff into it (transferred from

another small bag that I've been using for a few years) and 

everything fits great. It zips up smooth, and fits into my bag perfectly.

I took both pieces overnight with me to my parents house on

Christmas Eve. Can't wait to take it out on a longer trip to give

it a proper test.

I keep the small travel kit packed with a few standard to-go

items and stored on a shelf. It has helped make my packing routine

super easy, as I just need to spot-check that anything is missing. It is also

the home for my airport security line liquids bag.

I like streamlining things, and this works well for me.

It also helps to cut down on the "oh darn I forgot to pack that" 

moments while away.

So, I would recommend taking a look at their bags, if you're in the

market for some travel accessories. In addition to reusing materials that

would otherwise just be thrown away, you get a completely unique bag that

is also very useful. Attractive + useful = perfection
