Clements Ribeiro Limited Edition Shoppers – The Brazil Bag Project

Husband and Wife duo, Suzanne and Inacio of Clements Ribeiro launched The Brazil Bag Project – a limited edition collection of stripy shopper bags.

Suzanne Clements and Inacio Ribeiro regularly visit Brazil – it is Inacio ‘s place of birth and where his family is still currently based. Last Easter they returned from their annual visit with some lovely black, blue and white stripy shoppers which they have customized and developed a limited edition collection of  unique shopper bags. The bags are hand-woven from tear resistant plastic fiber,  and have been decorated with the duo’s signature embellishments.
