For years, almost all my life actually, I have been fascinated with Philippine exported products. I guess it started during one of our gradeschool fieldtrip to Philtrade (little did I expect that I am going to be a regular). We were lucky that there was a good furniture exhibit that time and I just fell in love with a huge round rotating thick cushioned rattan chair (which I still hope to find for myself), and I was hooked on all things Philippine Export quality products.
So going to CITEM’s Manila F.A.M.E. is really a pilgrimage for me. I can remember being blown away by the World Trade Center being transformed with drama, installations and even pocket gardens set-up by Budji Layug.
This year, it has once again lived up to its ideals. Though the exhibit is a tad smaller and less “packaged” than a few years back, but the participants are just as exciting!
The first of which is The Pina Shop, home of the First in the World Natural Dyed Pina Fashion knitwear!
As with true eco fashion, multi-purposing is a must, how about this shawl turned headgear/ accent? How about turning this into your bridal veil? Filipina brides should be proud to wear this to their wedding!

We have all experienced Easter in one form or another. From just attending mass to going on community or mall-sponsored Easter egg hunts for our kids.
