Escama (fish scales in Portuguese) works with Cia do Lacre and As Panteras do Lacre women's cooperatives located in economically depressed "satellite cities" of Brasilia, Brazil. The co-ops offer women business training and a means to earn a living through the production of fashion-forward, functional bags from recycled materials. Prices of goods are set by the cooperatives and the production is in their hands. Escama respects Fair Trade principles and the artists are paid fairly for their piecework. In addition, Escama donates 3% of gross annual sales directly back to the cooperatives.
