Escama - About Us

Escama - About Us
ESCAMA – fish scales in Portuguese – is a partnership between Escama and two women’s cooperatives, Cia do Lacre and 100 Dimensão, located in Brasília, Brazil. ESCAMA, based in San Francisco, leads product development, sales and marketing, while Cia do Lacre and 100 Dimensão carry out all aspects of production. We are Brazilians and Americans of diverse backgrounds but together we have found an outlet for our creativity. We are proud that our bags are made by hand and not by machine, that they're made of recycled aluminum and not leather and plastic, and that our endeavors are positively impacting the economically depressed communities where the bags are made..
