BAGGING IT (PART 2)
In today’s era of the conscious collector, the bag has evolved from a mere utility to a profound cultural manifesto.
THE ALESSANDRA long clutch is crafted from ocean blue raffia with rattan ‘solihiya’ caning weave overlay and finished with Kabibe shell inlay clasps. It features a drop-in gold chain shoulder strap, allowing your hands to be free to take selfies and sip a drink. It’s the perfect clutch to wear if you’re going somewhere warm and sunny. Measures 9.25”L x 1.75”W x 4.5”H. Inspiration: ‘With its solihiya rattan weave, the Alessandra clutch channels the refined craftsmanship of classic caned furniture. It’s a small accessory with a big story, marrying tactile nostalgia with modern, polished sophistication.’
ORIAS’ Segunda Book Tote is defined by an all-rattan solihiya body with dimensions 13.25 x 5.5 x 19.5” (LxWxH) The book tote reimagines a reliable, functional silhouette through craft. Cargo-style pockets introduce quiet utility — designed to move seamlessly between travel, work and leisure. A considered highlight of our Summer 2026 capsule, where form, function and Filipino materiality meet.
As we pivot toward a landscape defined by “quiet luxury” and radical authenticity, the Philippine accessory scene has emerged as a formidable vanguard of global craft.
