Shopping via the net

Of all the traits a Filipino possesses, I believe ingenuity is the best characteristic we have. We can create out of anything, from scratch, raw materials, wood, natural products even plastic and metal. Out of these raw resources come the most stylish, innovative, creative and definitely one-of-a-kind pieces and items that Filipinos truly love and foreign visitors undeniably adore. To find these hard-to-find items, you need to go to a handicraft store or the natural product section of the department store just to buy these stuff. Aside from the price  which is a little bit too high, at times, stores do not have what you are looking for and what you want or need. Collectible items, precious necklaces, vintage products and all natural fashion items can only be found in a specific marketplace. 

Then, I found this newest, hippest and definitely Filipino online shopping in town. Phindies.com which is not only an online shop, it is a redefinition of your lifestyle, a sense of fulfillment when you shop for Filipino-made products and a contribution to our local designers and manufacturers.

These bayongs are handmade the materials of which come from Luciana, Quezon. It is the most practical and sturdy  bag to use whenever you want to go on a  shopping, beach, at a park, date with friends even just leisurely walking in a mall. The fabrics and design are intricately well-made that you will not notice it is a bayong. It is not only stylish, it gives you an edgier taste in fashion and accessories.

The bags are disguised as "normal bags" and they are really stylish, colorful and edgy, which are perfect to flaunt this summer season. Why settle for expensive camera cases where you can have these fashionable bags by Izzo?

Care for some bling-blings? Sunny Manila presents these good looking necklaces that come in many sweet iconic chocolates and classic labels that surely will get anyone's attention. The pendant is made from domino tile with a filigree charm and vintage finish gold chain. These eccentric creations are what I call an innovative way of looking at necklaces and pearls. Gone are the shiny, shimmery and sparkling neck pieces. Welcome sweetness and style into one. You can't find these anywhere else, it's only at Phindies.com.

Who does not love a fabulous bracelet? Of all the accessories I have modeled and worn, this one tops the list.Not only does it gives you awesome, superb finish to your individual fashion style, it provides you a confidence to flaunt your arms and hands around. This Hiyas Filipinas art collage wristlets have a STYLE of their own. No need of wearing additional bangles or bracelets or even a watch. You can only wear this! Only this! You can be assured that will never see someone also wearing something like this. This creation by Monnick Cruz is not only genius, it defies the traditional round beaded or jeweled bracelet. Her eye for colors, design, choice of materials, textures, shapes and an ensemble of creativity make this one of my proudest choices for accessory of the month. It serves two things: fashion and function. Fashion, due to its style and function, due to its ever-dynamic centerpiece of materials, wearable on whatever occasions, whether formal or otherwise. 

Seen a tarpaulin being used as a wallet? Then here it is! Pitaka (Filipino for wallet) is made of outdoor-type tarpaulin that is lightweight, durable and water resistant. It can fit not only your coins and bills, but also keys, receipts and other essential items you always carry around. The designs in this wallet reflect the local scenery of the Pinoys' pop and culture. By carrying this, you are not only reflecting who you are as a Filipino, you are also endorsing the richness of the Filipino culture, heritage and tradition. This can be a perfect gift or give-away to your families and friends. As a substitute for the usual leather type wallet or coin purse, the Pitaka lifestyle speaks of uniqueness abound in the flavor of pinoy style and culture. This is only available at Phindies.com.
