Store Feature: SCHOOL OF SATCHEL | Fashion for a Cause

Saturday, April 7, 2012



I received an amazing gift set in the mail which included a beautiful leather passport travel folio and a personalized luggage tag with my initials JBL from the new travel collection of The School of Satchel that was recently released in March 2012. I adored the pieces! Aside from being very useful especially in the summer months where traveling is essential, the passport holder is very utilitarian and is carefully designed to fit all your necessary paperwork to travel abroad. The bag tag with my name's initials embossed on it JBL in gold is such a stunning, and chic identification measure, with its stylish, sleek design, I'm sure to look forward to traveling with this attached to my luggage. Destination: Vacation... in style!







I have known about the brand ever since it debuted as I saw it as a practical and amazing alternative (not to mention- 100 % PINOY MADE- because I love supporting local businesses) to the ever so popular Cambridge Satchel. I have always loved the shape of a satchel- it's very preppy, functional and structured- and this brand specializes in creating them in the finest materials possible. I own two Cambridge satchels which did major damage to my bank account as I decided I needed to get two- one in neon orange and one in pink. Thinking back, I would've definitely gone for the more classic and mature colors the brand The School of Satchel offers (alongside their quirky hues as well) as it fits the bag's design and aesthetic better.




The School of Satchel is a proud Filipino company that stands for Philippine-crafted, stylish and functional leather goods. They support Philippine leather industries by employing local manufacturing. They use local materials, utilizing only 100% genuine cowhide. Their pieces are carefully hand-cut, sewn and assembled manually to create designer-quality products. Best known for their superb quality and excellent workmanship, The School of Satchel delivers world-class products to the Philippines.






Recently,
Deal Dozen, the Philippines premiere group buying site partnered with The School of Satchel for a special deal to offer 25% off its satchels purchased at http://www.dealdozen.com for a limited period of time. Aside from getting a very good deal on chic, stylish and functional quality leather satchels, you also get a chance to help.



The School of Satchel (S.O.S), a premium Filipino leather goods brand,is in partnership with Kaeskwela Inc., and donated 200 schoolbags to students of Malulang Elementary, Cagayan de Oro who have been afflicted by Typhoon ‘Sendong’. “Teamwork inspired the success of the SOS Pledges Program. We found the perfect partner in KaEskwela who aims to provide equal education opportunities for all and also worked with an international organization called Service for Peace who ensured that the schoolbags went to deserving children. S.O.S supporters immediately responded to the appeal to help 200 public school students through purchasing the two-­tone satchels. And the S.O.S brand provided the platform for all this to be set in motion.” says Bianca Donato, owner of the leather goods brand.

Chic Nails and Spa: Where Glamorous Nails and Extreme Pampering Happens

Wednesday, September 21, 2011



I love pampering myself. I am definitely one of those massage addicted people who spend as much time primping and pampering myself as working. It's definitely a great release and a great way to unwind especially after a hard and grueling day. It's never wrong to spoil oneself every now and then now, right? I believe I am not alone in this whole spa trend as a lot of spa services have been opening up and the choices are limitless. I love the variety available now in the market of beauty and wellness services. Among the brands I have by far seen, the ultra chic and ultra glamorous CHIC NAILS and SPA is definitely one that stands out.




Located in the heart of Katipunan, the spa screams GLAMOROUS and FABULOSITY as soon as you enter. Aside from the wide array of services being offered such as nail spa, parrafin, waxing, body scrubs, different types of massage and healing techniques, along with laser hair removal and radiofrequency laser, the place also sells a variety of beauty products at a very reasonable price. I loved the massage oils in many different flavors and just had to get one of each. Also beauty products, such as dermatological approved medication are available for sale as supplementary medication to the specific treatments you avail of.






More than that, I especially adored the interior of the place. I am big on decor and ambiance and this place, I have to say, is superbly designed and decorated. I love the girly neo-Victorian feel of the place, with its color palette of contrasting brown and blue accents with white. The place also houses semi-private massage rooms, separate from its nail stations where the treatments are done. Each room is spacious and complete with all the necessary massage treatment essentials. Also, each room and nail station are sanitized after every use.










For that day, I decided to spoil myself with the CUCCIO nail spa ritual which was one of the specialty services in the spa. It incorporated a traditional "spoil me" foot spa package with an added twist as it used the premium CUCCIO brand of scrubs, lotions and essential oils as part of the treatment. I was delicately wrapped in warm towels and plastic wraps repeatedly for the treatment. Also, I received a stellar mani-pedi change with a wide array of color choices from Orly. I loved it! The treatment made my feet and nails feel and look so fabulous.












CUCCIO Naturale, for those who do not know, Cuccio Naturalé is used in top spas and salons throughout the world. Along with running the business, Mr. Cuccio, Founder, President, CEO and Roberta Cuccio, Senior Vice President, COO of Star Nail International are true visionaries and trendsetters in today's beauty industry. The entrepreneurial couple travels the world giving seminars to help spas and salons increase their business and enhance their lives. The couple together run the day to day operations of the business with the help of a very accomplished team. Since 1981, the business has grown into a multimillion dollar global corporation making the firm the largest nail and beauty product manufacturer in the world. Together they are always looking to improve the beauty industry and set trends with their vast knowledge and expertise. Their mission is to make innovative high quality products with great value so nail technicians are able to make a better living and enjoy their profession. What's best is that Cuccio Naturalé products are never tested on animals and maintains a commitment to end animal testing.





I had the best experience over at CHIC NAILS, I will definitely come back for more treatments in the future. I loved the place and will definitely try out their signature massages soon.
