Pirarucu

Osklen, in partnership with Instituto-E, pioneered the use of pirarucu fish skin in the fashion industry through a project that combines design and socio-environmental sustainability. Pirarucu is a fish historically used as food by Amazonian peoples, and its skin was often discarded.

The development and innovation work led by the brand's Founder and Creative Director, Oskar Metsavaht, gained international recognition through awards and accolades, such as Osklen's Flap Shoulder Pirarucu Bag, which is part of global fashion history, being the only Brazilian fashion piece to be included in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the world's largest museum of decorative arts and design.
