Blings N Jewel and the Abaca

One of the best raw materials our country produces is abaca.  It is the country's premier fiber and popularly known as Manila Hemp. There is a fashion show in fashion week showing abaca couture. Even our uniforms at Bangko Sentral need to have a fiber content of abaca. This prestigious raw material has been in the forefront of the fashion industry, not only as an indigenous material but as a way of patronizing our own natural resources in order to produce and create a stylish work of art. It is the material that our country is known for and that's a fact every Filipino should be proud of. 

According to the Fiber Industry Development Authority, which I quote, "Before the advent of synthetics in the '60s, abaca was the principal raw material for the manufacture of world-renowned Manila rope. It continues to be one of the country's major pillars in terms of employment generation and foreign exchange earnings." Well, that's quite beneficial for us to know. Abaca, I believe is one of the resources that can speak couture and glamour into any design or style of clothes and accessories. Speaking of the latter, I have found a perfect piece of bag that incorporates abaca but retains that eccentric style and useful appeal. This one is again brought to you by the fashion authority, Blings & Jewel. Don't think that just because the name is Blings & Jewel, they will not have any naturally made product? Just look at the bag below:

The interweaving of brown and white abaca fiber material into a square open type bag with handles is a perfect example of a masterpiece of style that is elegantly crafted and intricately fabricated. Truly, only a Filipino can make and design such as this. It resembles that of tote bag but is so "cultured" that you are not only wearing a design, you are wearing your own culture. The size can fit anything from your valuables, cellphone, vanity kit, notebook and even notebook and Ipad. Much more, you will not be ashamed of carrying this since it can fit right perfectly on your shoulders without hurting your precious back or skin, and still be proud of it. Gone are the leather, canvass or snakeskin material bags, the abaca designed bag is THE new bag! It can be worn during shopping, going to the park or beach, attending a party or reunion, having a date with friends and loved ones and even going to the office when you want to carry folders or documents. When you go to Quezon City Malls, Trinoma or SM North Edsa, you will not be required to pay an additional fee for the plastic bag since you can use this instead and  fit your groceries here. Another advantage of having this bag is that you can not see anything like this  or seldom, women today carry this kind of bags so, you can boastfully say, you are the only one wearing or carrying it. Match this with a boho look, a floral skirt and a plain top, or even a sheer top and denim tweed shorts, then you are good to go! Who knows fashion can integrate style and nature into one? Only Blings & Jewel can bring you the latest in accessories and the best finds that can match any of your style needs. Worry no more, because they still have a lot of stuff in store for you.
