What do Filipino artist Leeroy New and local brand Rag2Riches have in common? They always put the spotlight on Filipino artistry and sustainablity in everything they produce. This season, the two creative forces come together as they produce a collection that is the very defienition of wearable art.
Through a social media post, Leeroy gives a glimpse of their “Sacred Heart Bags” capsule collection. The bags come in different silhouettes, colors, and patterns finished off with the contemporary artist’s Psychedelic Melting Sacred Heart sculpture.
The “Sacred Heart Bags” capsule collection is among the Filipino pieces to be spotted at the latest edition of Presente by ArteFino. For the holiday affair, the Fifth at Rockwell will be transformed into a festive space that mirrors the distinct colors, textures, sounds, and sights of a Filipino Christmas. Creative renders of Simbang Gabi, booths serving bibingka and puto bumbong, parols, and other traditional decor will treat visitors to a “Paskong Pinoy.”
ArteFino has also curated special holiday gift sets (priced between P586 to P3,986) that enhance the gift-giving with a purpose. These will be available online via www.artefino.com. Holiday collections from brand partners will also carry with it stories of local artistry, boundless creativity, and strong bonds forged by community. These are the true gifts and treasures that we wrap up and place under the Christmas tree this season.
Presente by ArteFino runs from Nov. 30 to Dec. 3 at the Fifth at Rockwell in Makati City. To know more about it and its partner merchants, visit @artefinoph on Instagram.
