Luxury sets a new tone this summer. The world of preciousness is giving jewelry and accessories a more conscious feel in living. Yes, the most covetable brands from A to Z are spotlighting their homage to nature as it gives that certain mindful awareness through shopping.
Just recently, a three-day private trunk show had seasoned boutique Comme Çi welcoming Bohème SG to Manila at their shop in Powerplant Mall, Rockwell, Makati City.
Celebrating the fusion of nature-inspired design and contemporary sophistication, Bohème SG’s Manila debut was presented in collaboration with Nicole Whisenhunt of Comme Çi and co-hosted by fashion and lifestyle consultant Shauna Jay Popple.
The brand featured the latest collections of demi-fine and contemporary jewelry — the Maasai Mara, Atlantis, Exotica, Dune and Drops — where each piece is crafted with a deep reverence for organic form and timeless beauty.
The highlight of the event was an exclusive meet-and-greet with the genius behind the designs — French designer Veronique Manchharam, whose passion for storytelling through design was evident in every piece on display.
Beyond retail therapy, this special pop-up was a celebration of craftsmanship, creativity and the beauty of cross-cultural collaboration.
A standout moment was Wednesday evening’s cocktail night, where Manila’s style-savvy crowd gathered for an intimate evening of wine, conversation and covetable jewels (with many styles limited per design). The boutique transformed into a chic hangout for jewelry enthusiasts, offering attendees a chance to connect with the Singapore-based designer and discover the inspiration behind her exquisite work.
With its warm reception and enthusiastic turnout, Bohème SG’s first foray into the Manila market was nothing short of a sparkling success.
