Introducing the Filidoodles Collection by Alex Eduque and Julia Morales. Heart2Heart loves the Filipiniana inspiration
FILIDOODLES – the collection
The filidoodles collection is the second collection born out of the desire of Oliver and Maude to share its blessings. It is inspired by all things Filipino; more specifically, the rich culture and festivities of our beloved Philippines. We have chosen to pay tribute to the rich culture and history of the Filipino heritage in the form of these doodles, which have been transformed into prints and icons for this holiday collection.
MASKARRA
As the key symbol of the maskarra festival (celebrated in Bacolod every October, the maskarra is a tribute to all Filipino festivals and festivities. The fine detail reflected in the original drawing is a reflection of the ornate craftsmanship and intricate details of all Filipino handicrafts produced in the very same islands where the festivals are often held.
AMPARO
The amparo design was inspired by my undying love for butterflies and the traditional Filipino children’s hymn Paru-Parong Bukid, whose story has been told and words that have been re-sung through generations of Filipino children.
VINTAS
The vintas are inspired by the actual colorful boats (vintas) from Zamboanga. The vibrant colors used in the actual drawing depicts the festive and uniquely Filipino way of celebrating the Yuletide season.
