Emerging markets are hotbeds of undiscovered design potential, and Brazil is no exception. The country has already given the world its fair share of fashion moments (Alexandre Herchcovitch, Gisele Bündchen), but a new name to note just popped up on the radar. Rogério Lima: the designer of a line of handbags called A Fábrica. Lima recently renovated his studio and decided to recycle the empty cement bags that were left behind by the construction workers. The results ride the green trend, while adding of-the-moment bold brass hardware, crystal, and leather to the mix. Lima doesn't sell his own collection outside of Brazil yet (is a Barneys buyer reading this?), but we're predicting it's only a matter of time before his creations pop up at a retailer near you.
