Alfama, Castelo & Graça
This ecofriendly Graça outfit sells messenger bags, iPhone cases, wallets, handbags and zipper pouches cleverly made from former coffee sacks, potato-chip bags, juice containers and other recycled materials. The gear seems durable (and waterproof) and looks somewhat sleek, if you don't mind the corporate logos.
