Featured Group


	Worn as a functional day bag or an elegant evening bag, “you’ll get more comments on your Escama than any other accessory you own.” Made by two craft cooperatives — Cia do Lacre and As Panteras do Lacre — located in economically depressed 'satellite cities' of Brasília, Brazil. The co-ops allow women in the community to earn money through handicrafts and business training. They are a place where friends are made and self-esteem is regained. Inside each Escama bag is a card bearing the name of the artist who hand-crocheted the piece. The number of women working on production has risen from 12 one year ago to over 50 today! Interesting Facts: Escama means fish scales in Portuguese Founder, Andy Krumholz is a native of Shaker Heights!
