*THE LEDA PURSE $160

When I stumbled upon ESCAMA STUDIO’S accessories the first thoughts that came to mind were SEXY, CHIC, and FASHIONABLE. When I found out that all of their products are made from RECYCLED RESOURCES I was drawn. And when I saw the prices, I was sold! So check it out. Escama Studio is a collaborative design studio based in California and Brazil. Their flagship product is a sleek, handcrafted line of women’s bags made from recycled aluminum tabs. That’s right folks, the tabs you find on your soda cans have been recycled into fashionable women’s wear that you would actually want to be caught sporting. 

*THE CHICA ROSA CLUTCH $45

To achieve their singular aesthetic, the Escama Studio team adapted traditional crochet techniques used in Brazil and imbued this tradition with a modern design sense and new materials. With designs originating from both San Francisco and Brazil, the bags are hand crocheted in Brazil by women’s collectives who are not just contract manufacturers, but an integral part of Escama Studio.

***THEIR MISSION: 

creating innovative and stylish products from post-consumer and other sustainable materials, through partnerships with producers in underprivileged communities.

*THE SMALL SPIRAL $135
