The Accidental Style Maven

"I wear what I want and I don't care what other people think." Gloria, now in her 60s, considers herself an accidental style maven. Feeling more liberated from the season's trends now than in her younger years, Gloria has developed and refined her own personal sense of style — and has become a trend-setter in her own right.

"People love to see an older woman with a sense of personal style. It’s nice to get compliments on the street,“ Gloria explains. "I find that I can be more daring than younger women because I don’t follow what’s trendy. I've been there and done that already."

Gloria says personal style is something you come up with yourself. Fashion these days doesn’t appeal to her. Instead, she chooses pieces she loves and has fun creating her unique look. "I recently found a metallic bag at a museum gift shop, made out of recycled aluminum pop tops. Every time I'm out with that bag, people stop me in the street to ask about it," Gloria says. "Women of all ages ask me about where I got my bag, and that is really gratifying."

"I love when people ask me about my pop top bag — not only because the bag is elegant, but also because there's so much to say about this incredible brand." Gloria's conversation-starter bag is the Socorro Original Pop Top Bag from Escama Studio.

Escama bags have a unique look, something like chainmail. But look closer and you’ll see the bags are made from recycled aluminum pop tabs. You may also be surprised at how light Escama Studio bags are. Although they look like they would be heavy, they’re actually lighter than most leather bags and they’re made with the same care and attention to detail.

And that’s only the beginning of what’s interesting about Escama Studio. Each piece is crocheted by hand by skilled Brazilian artists. When you purchase an Escama Studio bag, you’ll see that it’s signed by the artist who made it.

“I love sharing the story of these sustainably designed and handmade pieces with my friends. I actually started giving them as gifts and they’re always a hit.”
