Trrtlz: A Review

Hi friends!

Have y’all seen or heard of Trrtlz® bracelets before? I am super new to the Trrtlz® bracelets party, but I have to tell you – they are SO cute and Caylin is loving them, too! A couple of weeks ago, the sweet folks at Trrtlz® sent us some to check out and review and we’ve been wearing them and enjoying them ever since!

The story behind how Trrtlz got started is really neat:

“Cousins Joseph Ferlito and Giuseppe (“Peppe”) Ferlito met a beautiful Sicilian girl, Alessia, one summer in Sicily. As they were saying goodbye, they noticed the bracelets on her wrist each had a small turtle. She hugged them and put one on each of their wrists saying, “Sono felice di aver incontrato” (I’m happy we met.”) Joseph and Peppe wore the bracelets long after they returned home and people asked about them all the time. Each time they recounted the story of their origin, the excitement of their summer adventure and the friendship they made came flooding back. As soon as people exclaimed. “Oh, I want one!” a light bulb went off and the cousins started making their own turtle-inspired bracelets to give to friends and family (and, yes, the occasional stranger [er, beautiful woman] to break the ice). From this love of friendship and thirst for adventure, Trrtlz officially hatched.”

So neat, eh?

Caylin and I received quite a variety of different bracelets – everything from animals like turtles (of course!), elephants, whales, monkeys, penguins, frogs, giraffes and more! Then we also got some great character ones like Hello Kitty (which was a favorite of Caylin’s), Mickey & Minnie Mouse, Ninja Turtles and Snoopy! There were even Batman and Superman logo ones!

Every Trrtlz design is available in multiple colors, with each bead representing a different attribute from love and peace to friendship. Trrtlz are meant to be shared and have become a sentimental currency for gift-giving.  The beads of the bracelets will fade which represents the adventures you have taken. When you give someone a faded bracelet, you’re sharing your adventures with that person and they are carrying a part of you with them. When you give someone a new, bright bracelet, you are helping that person create a new adventure of their own.

I love the concept of the bracelets and also love that they’re super inexpensive (only $1 each) and can be found SO many places – from Target and Walmart to Michaels, Kroger, Kohl’s and more!

The Trttlz® company is super generous as well and gives back in a lot of ways, including donating large amounts of bracelets to different charities and when you purchase a Trrtlz product, know that you are helping preserve wildlife, fund research and taking those little steps towards a greater change. Super cool. I love that!

So be on the lookout for the Trttlz® logo when you’re out and about and pick yourself and your kids up some of these bracelets! I think you’ll love them as much as we do!
