Brazil, Eco-Friendly Products

2010 / Feburary 2010

Eco-chic fashionistas will pop their tops over this shimmery bag by Brazilian artist Neide Ambrosio. The silver and turquoise purse looks like chain mail at first glance. It’s actually crocheted with recycled soda-pop tops and thread. $114.95. http://www.novica.com


The equator slices right through Brazil, making for loads of sunscreen-worthy days. Take an extra step in sun protection — and help support Brazilian craftsmen — with The Real Deal tarp hats. Local villagers sew the hats from recycled canvas tarpaulins used on cargo trucks. Each hat bears the scars (or beauty marks) of its travels along the Amazon, with patches, seams, holes or Portuguese writing. $29.99. http://realdealbrazil.com


The artisans behind the Zaicaner Collection for Creollus have resources and imagination as wild as the Brazilian rainforest. Pieces are an eco-conscious mix of wood, metal, stone and even the occasional fish or snake skin. This handmade bracelet boasts turquoise stones and reclaimed or recycled wood. Turqwood bracelet, $235. http://www.creollus.com


Ask anyone what to buy while in Brazil, and chances are shoes will be on the short list. Most of the time, the looks are killer, complete with five-inch heels. But if stilettos aren’t your style, you still can take home a gold medal of fashion with these glimmering sneakers. The Osklen Riva shoes are for men and women. $227. http://www.osklen.com

High-Spirited Hong Kong: The Dynamic Hub Embraces Its Maritime History and Culture

It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
