Suzanne Lee a fashion designer that's a head of her time. She uses biology to find out what other natural liquids, materials etc. can be use to grow fashion products. This idea was inspired by her book: Fashioning the Future: Tomorrow's Wardrobe. What can be next with future technology?

"Nice! Who made your bag?!" This was exactly my thought process to the customer I rung out at work, when she pulled out her sliver chic wallet. It was so cute and went really well with her sophisticated look. She told me it was called Escama Studio made in Brazil out of recycled aluminum pop tops & crochet. Very creative and extremely innovate! Escama Studio style are formed together from California and Brazil base locations. Each accessory piece has the a personal signature of the creator inside. Also on Escama web site, you get a chance to see who put these master pieces together and you can send thank you notes/emails. Its really a blessing about this Fair Trade partnership because you actually can feel how they take great pride and joy in what they do together.
