Amazonas

By | What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

Celebrating the exhilarating and colorful “Brazilian tropical movement,” Amazonas sandals create fun flip-flops in their current collection. With styles catering to men, women, and children, the Brazilian-based brand prides itself on being the first company in the world to create eco-friendly biodegradable sandals using recycled materials so wearers can be confident they’re helping the environment in style.

Amazonas (2)Designed to transport you into your personal paradise, where your comfort is key, the sandals reflect a relaxed vibe that allows wearers the ease of consciousness when it comes to beauty and environmental responsibility. Allowing you to be yourself and exercise your individuality, each pair of flip flops come in options of thin and average soles, as well as strap options for every style. Wearers could choose either from the delicate short straps that tends to highlight doll feet, the single strap that’s attached to the feet by the heels, and the long, slim strap or the thick, rounded ones, which embrace the feet in several lines.

The inspiration comes from the brand’s mother country’s abundant flora, blending shapes, colors, and strong contrasts of prints to spice up each pair. The palette truly embodies the beauty of Mother Nature with its complementary colors. The Fios comes from a derivative of PET bottles and fabric residue with a result that’s beautiful with natural lines. The Luxury sandal embeds stones and crystals around the crown of the straps for the wearer that demands attention. The New Eco is made up of 80% recycled materials, an innovative and sustainable style. The New Bio, on the other hand, is composed of natural rubber from the latex of rubber trees, contributing to the riverside community.

Amazonas (1)Meanwhile, the Comfort sandals treat you well with equal support throughout the sole and surprisingly soft, light and flexible feel. Fun escapes from gloomy shades and lets you dive into a world of color. Fun Brazil mixes the diversity of the cultural melting pot into several accents, while Enjoy allows you to be yourself and envision a paradise of your own.

There’s a pair of customizable Amazonas for everyone and the brand’s environmental and social commitment tells stories beyond that vibrant design. Save the world in comfort and panache with a pair or two of Amazonas!

Available at Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-la, Rustan’s Ayala Cebu, Landmark Makati and Landmark Trinoma.

International Brand Ambassador, Jessica Chastain and longtime friend of the brand, Michael B. Jordan, donned Piaget at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Gala. This year, the Costume Institute will exhibit “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology”, a resume of fashion impacted by technology and its relationship to haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear.

For the most glamorous fashion event of the season, Ms. Chastain chose a pair of stunning long drop diamond earrings in white gold from the Couture Précieuse collection and the Limelight Gala watch with a diamond pave dial to accompany her red carpet gown.

About Piaget
It was in La Côte-aux-Fées that Georges-Edouard Piaget set up his first workshop in the family farmhouse and devoted himself to producing high-precision movements. This was back in 1874 and marked the start of an ever-growing reputation. In 1943, the company took a decision that would prove crucial to its future by registering its brand name. But Piaget was also a style: a marriage of gold and an explosion of color, new shapes, precious gems, and dials made of hard stones.  Rich with 140 years of history, the ever-bold brand, innovated by offering jewels in motion, extravagant Haute Joaillerie collections, and incredible watches to become today one of the world’s most prestigious watchmaker-jewelers.

We may never completely know how many lives OSR’s touch with his generosity but the joy in his face in the many blessings that he has received somehow give us a hint of the prayer, it is in giving that we received. Recently, OSR mention about small community in Calumpit, Bulacan which need help in rebuilding their church because of the growing number of parishioners in the perennial flooding in the town. Today, One Meralco Foundation in behalf of all of us in Meralco is making a donation in OSR’s name that will help in the construction of the Sto. Nino Quasay Parish Church in Calumpit, Bulacan. We hope that through this donation many more people in Calumpit will spread the line of hope and generosity just like how OSR exemplify this to many of us here in Meralco.

Receiving the donation is no other than the Parish Priest of Sto. Nino and the nephew of OSR Rev.
