However, that brilliant mathematician isn’t me, so I’ll just say it’s massive, enormously massive (I suppose it’s something you could calculate while facing an eight-hour delay at an airport, waiting for a connecting flight – but I think I’d prefer to simply look at the memories and reminisce). I’m sure somewhere, a very bright mathematician could calculate the number of design permutations available when selecting the various steps. This is where the unique nature of this product comes into its own. The quality and care during manufacture are exceptional. There’s a choice of four colours, black, chestnut brown, purple and a lovely refined turquoise. They look delicate, but don’t be fooled these straps are sturdy. El Camino has provided a handy size chart, which I followed carefully therefore, when the item arrived, it fitted perfectly. They’re completed with a robust but easy to fasten clip. The beautiful bracelets are handmade using four interlaced cotton hybrid cords.
It’s simply laid out and a pleasure to browse through.įirstly, the strap, single or double? This was an easy choice for me, as I prefer the double (which goes around your wrist twice). When starting an El Camino collection, you will need to make a few decisions – they’re lovely decisions, so stay with me.Īs a starting point, have a look at their website. Select a bracelet, and then customise it with memories (or steps, as El Camino call them) – think of it as a less fussy and more practical charm bracelet for the twenty-first-century. I had spotted some on-line advertisements for El Camino Bracelets, and by coincidence, shortly afterwards, I was asked to review an item from their comprehensive collection.Įl Camino roughly translates to ‘The Way’, ‘A Route’, or ‘A Trail’, and that’s essentially what these bracelets, with their fantastic choice of personal customisation, can represent a depiction of your travels, not only physically around the world but of your journey through life.
I’ve been looking for something to replace them, something a little different, a little bohemian, and something that would be a talking point among friends and fellow travellers. Unfortunately, some of those are starting to look very tired and should be consigned to a box of memories rather than worn (well-loved might be a better way of expressing it). They’re a lovely reminder of the places I’ve visited. I don’t wear a tremendous amount of jewellery, but I have got a collection of handmade bracelets, that I’ve purchased in various markets worldwide.
