The one reason I love going to trade fairs is the thrill of finding new exciting and creative products from budding or old-time exporters who are new to trade fairs.
The 17th Buy Pinoy Exporter’s Fair is no exception. Here are my top three finds:
Gandang Mais Cornhusk Flowers and Crafts.
Unlike other flower crafts made from natural materials, these beauties are artistically made to capture the essence of the true flower without actually pretending to be the real thing. Their success is largely due to artistic vision of Ms. Milagros Evangelista. (There’s a quaint story I’ll be sharing to you about these cornhusk flowers and lady behind them in my next post)
Creatively natural cornhusk flowers and crafts from General Santos
Roses and Heliconias, the secret to them looking so "natural" is the choice of colors and them being not so perfect
Bobbin Lace creations by W.U.T.H.L.E.
It’s always amazing to see handcrafted pieces that are so intricate. And these bobbin lace crafts are definitely one of them. It’s a bit pricey but when you look closely, you would why, you can hardly see the joining stitch.
Intricate bobbin lace crafts from Iloilo
Nito chair and lamps by Corzo Crafts
Modern design meets local ingenuity and artistic execution, this is the trademark skill of Pinoys, here’s a good example Nito furniture and furnishings from Camarines Norte. You can have your own conversation piece at very reasonable prices.
Nito chair at only P3,500 and the lamp is only P1,000.
There’s still time to check it out. See what else you can find.
