The eyes have it

MANILA, Philippines - We’re all wide-eyed and gape-mouthed for the season’s latest accessories from the country’s best local designers. Drawing inspiration from Joyce Makitalo’s newest collection of enamel oracle necklaces, titled 1969, our editorial mixes the likes of Natalya Lagdameo, Emily Kate, Beatriz, Marly Laraya, Pamela Ebnsperger, and Vada Lim from the vast selection of artisanal crafted jewelry from our favorite go-to accessories stores AC+632 (Greenbelt 5) and Firma (Greenbelt 3). Using a variety of raw, native materials like semi-precious stones and hand-crafted charms mixed with a surprisingly fun and modern aesthetic, our homegrown designers are all about creating luxury that doesn’t take itself too seriously, just like us!
