A recommendation by inhabitat

inhabitat's recommendation

What’s better than a beautiful chic handbag made entirely from recycled materials? How about one that is not only eco-friendly, recycled, and supercute - but also engages fair-trade and socially empowering business practices by employing Brazilian craftswomen in hand production of the bags?

The word “Escama” means fish scales in Portuguese, and we can’t think of a better way to describe these gorgeously chic handbags - which indeed look like fish scales, and also a bit like a softer version of chain-mail. Happily, Escama’s purses are as ethical and eco-friendly as they are cute and clever, meaning you can splurge on one of these babies and actually feel like you are doing something positive for the planet.
