Style, substance, and sustainability are fused in the newest collection presented by Rags2Riches. Considered as one of the prime movers when it comes to sustainable fashion, or as what RIIR calls ‘eco-ethical fashion’, their new collections is inspired by the intricate designs and unique weaves of the Tinalak. Theย collection is called โ€œNewel,โ€ which means โ€œweaveโ€ in Tโ€™boli. The new collection aims to show the co-existence of three distinct elements to create an elegant masterpiece:ย  style, substance, and sustainability. The first line of bags solely designed by RIIR, the collection brings forward intricately designed pieces to fit the style of the modern, fashion-forward RIIR woman.

โ€œRags2Richesโ€™s Spring Summer Collection is a stylish innovation. Utilizing the Tinalak, an indigenous weaving technique that is inspired by dreams, myths and beliefs, RIIRโ€™s newest collection is dedicated to the RIIR woman who is a person with substance and unique style,โ€ shared Joe Mark Pardiลˆas, Sales and Marketing Manager for Rags2Riches.ย

The new collection boasts of vibrant and exquisite pieces like the Hedem Hobo Bag dubbed โ€œThe Thinking Womanโ€ in Tiboli. Other must-haves include the Ofi Clutch (fire), the Kena Hobo Bag (dream) The Kulon Clutch (rain), the Kenmu Clutch (fist) and the Benwu Tote Bag (world). Every creation is sure to catch the eye with its versatility, splash of sumptuous colors and ingenious patterns.

Not to mention theย versatilityย of the design that would make all stylish ladies go loco to have it. I personally like the use of the Tinalak as the main design aesthetic, knowing that our native fabric making is on its express way to becomingย extinct Rags2Riches is actully helping in preserving this cultural heritage.ย

Coinciding with the launch of its Spring Summer Collection, RIIR also unveiled its new style advocate, Bianca Gonzalez. A well-known celebrity and fashion aficionado, Bianca is a woman that personifies the RIIR woman: empowered, passionate, and compassionate. โ€œWe believe that Bianca Gonzalez is the epitome of a RIIR woman, someone who personifies the values that we uphold and seek to promote with every unique RIIR creation,โ€ Pardiลˆas added.
