Fishing-Nets Turned Handbags

In a country that is home to one of the world's most intensive fresh water fisheries, what better to make out of all these old and unused fishing nets than beautifully designed bags.

At Smateria, the bags, purses and accessories created are made only from re-purposed, up-cycled or recycled materials, including fishing net, plastic shopping bags and leather offcuts from a sofa manufacturer.

A combination between Cambodian artistry and Italian design, these unique bags stand for style, environmental consciousness and durability.
