Longchamp Le Pliage Cuir Personalized

By Heart2Heart | What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

1512 Le Pliage Cuir Small

Longchamp, the world-renowned French luxury leather goods and clothing house, is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its iconic bag Le Pliage® this year. To commemorate this special event, Rustan’s brings to the Philippines the much-awaited “Le Pliage Cuir Personalized,” a customization service for Le Pliage® Cuir, the leather adaptation of the famous Le Pliage®. Le Pliage® Cuir was launched in 2012 to tremendous success because of its extremely strong, soft and supple leather which retains the ability to fold in exactly the same way as the nylon version.

Customers will be able to design their very own Le Pliage® Cuir by customizing the color of the body, strap, tabs, flap, handle and lining according to their preference and make it even more personal by adding their initials, which can either be perforated or embossed. This season, customers can choose from the following colors: mocha, red, candy, amethyst, camel, poppy, bilberry and black. For the lining, the available colors are citrine, fuchsia, vermilion, dune and night blue.

The available sizes for customization are the 1512 (small tote), 1515 (medium tote), 1630 (large tote), and the 1825 (pouch).

The Le Pliage Cuir® Personalized service will be available in Rustan’s Shangri-la until the end of November only. Rustan’s invites everyone to celebrate this wonderful 20-year milestone with Longchamp. Let’s get personal!

Novus Praeternatura

By Heart2Heart | Arts and Culture | No Comments

The Philippine Art Scene is developing so rapidly that even the very young ones are already into it at an early age. Last November 15, Bambina Santiago and Dani Osmeña of Slate Manila, recently launched their first exhibit and sale entitled Novus Praeternatura.

These two ladies are only twenty years old and already they are not only appreciating art but they are professionally taking this into a higher level and managing artists and organising exhibits.

Congratulations Slate Manila on a successful first exhibit and looking forward to more. As long as we patronise the artists and their works, that will be the only thing that will dictate the value of Philippine Art. It is so nice to see many more Filipinos, young ones at that, patronising and investing in art.

The proud and supportive parents of Dani and Bambina were there. And even with his busy schedule, Tito Serge Osmeña was just as much as a star as her daughter taking photos with everyone, “When Dani first told me that she wanted to organise an art show, I just wished her luck. I was not paying too much attention to it because I was so busy with my own work. I was just told to attend the show about a week before. I was so surprised by the turnout. All the pieces were uniquely special. I am so proud of Dani and Bambina’s success. I look forward to their future shows.”

It was my first time to meet the daughter of Kitty Santiago Jacinto, Bamina, and she is just as pretty as the mom. “It was Bambina and Dani’s idea to promote up and coming Filipino artists. Being able to witness the process of the exhibit coming together was really exciting and I am very proud of them. I was very happy to help out wherever I could. I was able to share entrepreneurial, marketing and PR advice. However, the art world is really Bambina’s passion. Being an artist herself, she has had an ardent love for the arts since childhood. She has an eye for detail and talent. I am thrilled that Bambina and Dani have found a way to mix business with what makes Bambina truly happy. The two are especially lucky to have so many talented mentors and loved ones who are rooting for them especially Dani’s Mom, Bettina, Bambina’s older sister, Thea, their Tita Malu, Tito Anton, and Tito Rajo.”

I arrived late already coming from another event and if you are late at these art shows, you will end up not getting anything because all the artworks are already sold. That is how it is in the art scene nowadays. You have to be quick. True enough when I arrived, the piece I wanted was sold! And together with me was Tita Bettina Osmeña who mentioned to me about the artist “I discovered Jonathan Benitez in FB. I love the lightheartedness of his works. It gives good vibes ! I wanted to buy this piece but decided to give somebody a chance to own this piece. I am glad one of my close friends ended up with this piece. I will be seeing it in the wall of my friend. I have told that I have a very keen eye for art. This piece proved to be one of the show favourites.”

Another artist I met that night was Sayid Cedicol. He had three works in the exhibit and they were all sold out with many others wanting his works. He is from Zamboanga and he uses ballpens to draw his artwork. I asked him if he uses any particular brand of ballpen for this artwork ( Invasive Jupiter Aurora 2014 ball pen on cardboard 26 X 38 inches ) and he said “I use any brand of ball pen, whatever is available there.”
