Conscious Fashion: What’s Poppin’

Have you ever seen people collecting pop tabs? Were you then struck by the question: What can someone possibly do with a million pop tabs? Escama Studio has devised an ingenious solution for this question. It turns out that with a million pop tabs (okay so maybe it doesn’t take that many) some very beautiful accessories can be created.

Escama Studio is a collaborative design studio based out of Brazil and California. Each Escama design is hand crocheted by a Brazilian man or woman who works in a design co-operative. These co-operatives provide the designers with a means to earn a living as well as a positive and safe group setting. One of the coolest parts of Escama Studio’s products are that each item comes with a hang tag that displays the designer’s name. You can then read more about the artist online and send them a thank you note; Escama will even translate this note into Portugese!

You can check out Escama Studio at www.escamastudio.com where you can view tutorials on how to create accessorries out of pop tabs yourself! Its very interesting and worth a look.
