Escama Studio recycled pop top purseCute little bags where traditional crochet techniques are applied to the soda can pop tops of yore. The result is a striking chainmail-like effect that prompts a close look – yes, definite conversation piece potential here – and the bags can be ordered from small cosmetic purses to large totes. And not only do they incorporate recycling, but fair trade as well: the bags are made by two Brazilian craft cooperatives, and each bag arrives with the artist’s name inside.
