The Beauty Source Monchet Y Compania Fan

The Petal Fan bespoke for Rustans is a classic design with origins to designer Pitoy Moreno, who requested Casa Mercedes to create a fan to match a terno of one its esteemed clients. The fan has been part of the collection for many years.

 

Monchet y Cia, is a tribute to a family heritage of hand-made abanico fans, using sustainable wood, and embellished with rings and silk tassles. The fan collection bespoke for Rustans is stytlized with the signature accent rib and leaf, which is unique to the Monchet Y Cia boutique line and  is limited in number and kept to the seasonality of color and pattern. Each fan comes in a gold box with the Rustans logo.

Monchet y Compania is the bespoke heritage line of Casa Mercedes, the oldest fan/abanico maker in the Philippines, celebrating its 60th year. Began by three Diokno sisters, Angelita Olives, Mercedes Rovira and Dr. Leonora Casas, the idea to make spanish style fans was inspired by a trip to Madrid in the 1950s. Angelita Olives eventually took over the business from her  siblings, and remains an Olives tradition, with family members pitching in the business.

 

Casa Mercedes, and its boutique line Monchet y Cia is proud with the collaboration with Rustan’s, as it has provided abanicos to the store since its early days in San Marcelino. The Petal Fan for Rustans, is the second collaboration of MYC, for its “In Good Company” Collection, with the the first being production of the limited edition I CAN SERVE fans to campaign for breast cancer awareness.
