PROUDLY FILIPINO ❂ Fino Leatherware 2
You would never believe what my most popular blog post is (most number of hits) – aside from “Sergio Ramos’ Girlfriend” that is. It’s my post on FINO leatherware! People from all over the world are searching for their website. Unfortunately they don’t have one. They have limited designs and quantities of their bags that are only sold in their Manila shops. FINO is on my must-visit-list every single time I go home. Every. Single. Time. So if you are going to Manila I highly recommend that you visit one of their shops. Locations & pictures of some more of my FINO Finds after the jump.

PHILIPPINE FINDS ✽ Cura V at Rockwell
As I was walking towards the Fino store in Powerplant Mall Rockwell, I discovered a new store that reminded me of another favorite of mine (FIRMA). The new store is called CURA V and it basically sells beautiful things curated from all over the world for the home, novelty items and fashion accessories, just like FIRMA. The collections of jewelry, bags and accessories are what really wowed me – and a lot of them are by local designers! I was floored!
