Brazil, Eco-Friendly Products

Feb 1, 2010
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
