A new crush for a new designer coming to Ethical Trade Shop… Quartulli with its brand LACE_BAGS. 

Francesco sums up very well his brand : high standard Brazilian handcraft with Italian design…

LACRE_BAGS is a range of ethical fashion accessories made with recycled aluminum pull-tabs. This is really a hard work in order to pick up the tabs, to clean them, to sew them one by one and crocheting them, to sew the lining… A whole process that requires a lot of patience and care.

All their models are exclusive and the accessories are sewn by hand in limited quantities.

As 2011 is the year of recycling, how nice to highlight such a simple material ! So let’s recycling with chic and couture items so urban, unique and ethical !

You will find handbags or shoulder bags, evening clutches, belts and even necklace and bracelet. The whole line is available in black or silver.
