Nowadays it seems almost impossible that designers can somehow amaze sophisticated fashion-conscious ladies who have already seen everything and even have had all the possible handbag styles. But for all that one Icelander has tried his hands at designing a new interesting and striking alternative to usual snake and crocodile leather handbags. Are you intrigued?

In 2006, Unnur Fridriksdottir established the company Unnurwear and brought forward an out of the ordinary handbag collection. The world had never seen anything like that before – all the handbags were made of Icelandic salmon and African perch leather! Sounds tempting, doesn’t it? It appears that today exotica in fashion industry know no bounds.

The fish for these unusual bags are reared at special fisheries. Having been thoroughly processed, the fish leather looks showy and worthy of being used as a material for handbags that are currently presented at numerous international exhibitions. In the year 2007, Unnurwear brand name was awarded a top prize at designer’s exhibition Magma/Kvika in Reykjavik – one of the first-rate exhibitions that enjoys high reputation in the Republic of Island.

Fish scale handbags look extremely chic. Such a handbag will surely catch the eye. There is a wide range of colours in Unnur Friedricksdottir’s collection: from the numerous tints of mysterious emerald green to charming ultramarine blue. There are various handbag styles in the collection as well. You will certainly find a handbag up to your taste among such beauties – elegant Briet clutch, roomy square Lilja handbags, glamourous Embla bags and, even unisex Svanhvit bag styles.

Having undergone curring, fish scale leather no longer has its specific smell. Moreover, fish leather is pretty durable. The main zest of such fish scale handbags is that fish scale material gets softer during the usage and the handbag begins to look even better than a new one. If you really want to strike someone with your new bag, one of these gorgeous bags will be a perfect choice for you.
