Located but a stiletto’s toss from The Peninsula, Greenbelt is a modern, expansive compound of retail and dining that racks an impressive range of both international brands and homegrown talent. If you’re itching to flex that AmEx, here are the local designers to shop for.
Becky Aranàz’s eponymous label already boasts an international following, but her Manila boutique, Aranàz is still the best of the bunch when it comes to browsing her entire range of all-natural woven bags and clutches. A staple in summer, stylistas go ga-ga for an array of brightly-hued tropical designs.
If bold is your sartorial MO, you’ll also love Pinoy catwalk queen Celestina’s collection of exotic skin sacs fashioned in an array of rainbow colours. Styles span classic to quirky (her delicate evening bags will have you swooning) and are meticulously handcrafted by Filipino artisans using locally-sourced materials, while her jewellery and eyewear lines incorporate mother of pearl, coconut and shagreen. Raul Francisco’s Eterno offers an equally chic edit of leather wallets and satchels, among an assortment of uber-luxe accoutrements for men.
For sleek silhouettes, Cebu-born gown whizz Jun Escario is your go-to guy. Yes, he may be better known for his exquisite bridal collections, but his floor-length evening dresses and ready-to-wear looks which feature intricately-detailed bodices are just as beautiful, and frequently sported by Manila’s glitterati.
More bling awaits at FIRMA which is crammed full of whimsical curios and home. Among its standout goodies are Manila-raised WynWyn Ong’s lustrous stone-encrusted pieces, including embellished purses and statement jewels. Her one-of-a-kind creations, many of which feature rubies and sapphires, are essentially wearable art. Shop to it!
