I’m happy to see brands I support evolving. This just means more jobs for the people who work for them. Such brand is Rags2Riches, which is known for their chic and fashionable bags (wallets, clutches and shoes) made from eco-sustainable materials made by local artisans all over the country. It’s a guilt-free shopping experience whenever I leave their store. And now in a collaboration with Marilen Faustino-Montenegro, I can prettify our small space with accent pieces from R2R Living.
Marilen has under her belt over 10 years of experience as an interior stylist and has a design company that specializes in houses, condo and model units. Head on over her blog and Instagram account to get tips on how to organize and make each nook and cranny of your home a beautiful one.
It’s so easy to want everything on the collection! The colors – salmon pink, turquoise and grey – will fit any existing set-up in your house. And as a firm believer in organizing accessories, Marilen made sure that the pieces will both be beautiful and functional. This is very true with the hexagonal tray made from natural abaca. It can be used as a serving tray, or a catch-all, or I can see it against a bare wall being a background for flowers and succulents. Oh, I’m getting so inspired! I want to move into our own house already!
R2R Living makes sure that their products combine style and substance; and in each piece comes the joyful stories of their artisans; and your home a testament of eco-ethical practices and an unwavering support for Philippine-made items.
The R2R Living x Marilen.ph Collection is available in all R2R stores (Glorietta 3, Rockwell, Podium) and online via www.marilenstyles.com
