Walleska made waves at MAGIC when her fabulous full length coat and handbags were featured on one of the show's main displays. Unique design and sophisticated shapes with an edgy metallic shimmer ensured the line's success; by the way - did I mention that all of her pieces are made out of recycled can tabs? That's right, in an amazing display of ingenuity, Brazilian-born Walleska created a breathtaking line of apparel, handbags, belts, and jewelry out of the tabs you find on soda cans.
These genius creations have all of the allure of elegant couture, and are handmade by women in Brazil. Delicate crochet work adorns the tabs, creating a beautifully contoured structure. Each tab is carefully cleaned and filed by hand to ensure quality and comfort. Because so much care is given to each piece, it can take 3 to 4 days to make just one item. And rest assured, there is nothing cheesy about Walleska's products; each one exudes high-fashion appeal.
Based out of Dallas, Walleska is intent on changing the world. From her use of recycled materials to employing underprivileged women, everything about this line is nothing short of fabulous.
