In the past I have written about Escama Studio, una organización con sede en San Francisco que trabaja con artesanos en Brasil que utilizan crochet para upcycle fichas pop de aluminio en bolsas hermosas. Ahora tengo mi propia bolsa de embrague Escama.
The pop top crochet bag that I got is the Chica Rosa Mini Clutch. Like all of Escama Studio’s products, it is made with 100% post-consumer recycled aluminum can tabs. This one is made with over 200 de ellos. It is fully lined and zips shut. This bag comes in black, plata, blanco, bambú, chocolate, olive and red as well as in the teal color that I chose.
Each bag comes with a tag on it that tells the buyer which artisan made the bag. You can the go on the Escama Studio website to see the artisan’s bio, a way of helping the buyer feel connected to the process of Crochet Comercio Justo.
It’s sturdy. It’s beautiful. Es único. Soy amante de ella. It’s useful for every day stuff but actually I may use it to store my crochet hooks inside of a bigger bag (like my Jordana Paige bag, por ejemplo).
