Escama is a new companies that combine clever design with ethical trading to create a line of bags and purses made with recycled aluminium woven together with nylon fishing line.

The combination of the metallic material and the nylon thread results in a line of bags that are both very soft but with an slightly aggressive urban edge, with the fish scale pattern recalling medieval chainmails.

ESCAMA, “fish scales” in Portuguese, consists of three friends working out of San Francisco and Brasilia, Brazil. Their eco-friendly concepts are both fashionable and functional.
