Eye for Design: Allison Skoglind Interviews Nyla Jano
Posted by Bold Apps onBack in 2009 designer Nyla Jano made a serendipitous trip to Southeast Asia that would inspire the creation of TORRAIN. Since then the company has grown in leaps and bounds and clearly shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, as TORRAIN’S product lines and reputation continue to gain momentum, it appears she may just be getting started.
Merging Style & Function with a Global Conscience
Posted by Bold Apps onThe design team at TORRAIN spends a good deal of time meditating on ways to infuse value into our products. What do we mean by value? Most companies translate value as monetary worth. And yes, a successful business cannot sustain itself without revenue. But in no way is our idea of value static.
Nature's Cure: Inspiration around every corner
Posted by Nyla Jano onHere at TORRAIN we are passionate about looking good and feeling even better, and at the root of both these concepts lies in our connection to the natural beauty of everyday life. Our company was first conceived traversing a dynamic marketplace against the backdrop of Cambodia’s majestic mountain ranges, tropical rainforests, and breathtaking coastal views.

Making Fashion Functional: Get Inspired!
Posted by Bold Apps onAt TORRAIN, we believe less is more. Less waste, more earth. Less clutter, more time to focus on what really matters: connection to each other and respect for this incredible planet. We design our products to reflect these values; they are colorful and bold, but also lightweight, durable, and made with repurposed materials.
