In the midst of the Hippie movement in the late 60's, Carlos Sobral produced handmade leather handbags, sandals with tire soles and jewelry made of metal corroded with acid. Sobral's pieces, sold at restaurant doors, handicraft fairs and cultural events, were very similar to the work of millions of artisans that earned their livelihood through this art. The jewelry market was extremely segmented and Sobral could only get his pieces to the most important distribution spots through other people.
