SUSTAINABILITY

In the Amazon, the waste derived from fish skin, considered unsuitable for consumption, reaches up to 183 thousand tons per year. The biological pollution caused by the fish skin waste not only harms the environment but also the lives of the local communities. The main source of waste comes from the Pirarucu, a fish that attains a length of nearly 3 metres and a weight of 220 kg.

When you buy our bag, you help us to contribute to the reduction of fish waste in Amazonia; to offer a second alternative income to the Amazonian communities;  to promote the work/talent of small craftsmen; to propose unique pieces with impeccable quality.

PIRARUCU LEATHER

Pirarucu leather is the main material of our collection. This fish is commonly consumed in Brazil and is one of the largest freshwater fishes on the planet. Native to the Amazon river basin, the Pirarucu benefits the ecosystem and the communities that live off fishing, a non-predatory activity that plays an important economic role. 

Nowadays, pirarucu has become one the world’s most luxurious organic products with the lowest environmental impact.
