In Amarie by Anne Marie Saguil

By | Fashion | One Comment

I first heard about Amarie when I saw this post of Ina Ayala in Instagram.  It was love at first sight 🙂In Amarie by Anne Marie Saguil (4)

When they first launched MaArte, I met Anne Marie Saguil, the beautiful lady behind Amarie.  Tita Cedie and her were both in Amarie that day 🙂In Amarie by Anne Marie Saguil (10)

It was a signature look that you can easily spot.  I compiled some photos with ladies wearing Amarie.  Heart2Heart loves the design because it is very Filipiniana – a different take on the barong but for ladies.  LOVE IT!
