Ecochicc offers employment and a creative outlet to over 50 artisan women located in satellite cities outside of Brazil’s capital. From those donating their soda cans to those collecting garbage on the streets, cleaning each individual tab, from the hands of the Brazilian and American artisans to the boutique to the final consumer, the Ecochicc process has become a means to satisfy a creative and globally driven process- simultaneously.
