The two creatives join forces in producing contemporary accessories and bags that celebrate the joy of childhood and Cebu’s rich cultural heritage
While designing requires a lot of discipline and skills, many may not know that it is also a playtime for designers. During the creative process, their minds go through all sorts of places as they try to turn their ideas into something wearable. For some, the way is to go forward, dreaming of unusual silhouettes and modern fabrication, while others think of the stories of the past.
“I chose Jackstones due to its design and colors,” Neil confesses. “I wasn’t really good at playing but I just loved its design for some reason as a child.” Apart from paying homage to the jackstone, the collection also highlights Cebu’s rich culture and heritage. The pieces were handcrafted by skilled local artisans in Cebu City using materials sourced from the region. It features minaudieres made of Mother of Pearl and parchment leather, adorned with gold- and silver-plated jacks. Rounding the collection are the jewelry pieces, ranging from earrings and necklaces to cufflinks.
