Thoughtful, stylish products with a handmade, recycled, eco-chic vibe are a huge trend here in the Hive. Escama€™s retro-glam Socorro Shoulder Bag takes the concept of recycling to another level. Not only has Escama revived the pop-top tote, so popular in the groovy 1970s, but they have also embraced an ethical, sustainable method for manufacturing their handcrafted bags. Over 700 aluminum pull-tabs rescued from the top of discarded soda cans have been artfully hand-crocheted together to form a roomy, versatile bag, whose shiny metallic texture is akin to fish scales. In fact, the name of the company, €œEscama,€� means €œfish scales€� in Portuguese. Each Socorro Bag has been carefully handmade by a member of a self-controlled, skilled cooperative of craftswomen in Brasilia, Brazil, and comes with a special card that has been hand-signed by its creator.
