After its successful debut at The Podium last year, Kultura’s Filipino Design Studio is showcasing locally made tropical-inspired finds, this time at SM Aura Premier.
Envisioned as a space of inspiration and community, the Filipino Design Studio aims to highlight and support exceptional local talent with a specially curated roster of guest brands alongside Kultura’s house brands.
At this summer pop-up, you can find beautifully crafted local products in fashion, beauty, home, and personal care, alongside modern Filipiniana and pasalubong-worthy goods.
Some of the Filipino fashion finds available include Gwapitos’ island life inspired looks from Siargao, the country’s surfing capital; Nino Franco’s effortless blend on modern fashion with traditional ethnic hand embroidery from the T’boli tribe of Mindanao; Matthew and Melka’s fun, fresh accessories featuring the colors of local flora and fauna; and Anmari & Co’s handmade bags made from buntal, raffia, rattan and tikog sourced all over the country.
