Old Narra beams that used to support a rice mill in Biñan, Laguna prove that aged materials can still be given new life. A visual metaphor integrating the traditions of weaving and carving to create something new and modern, the Habi collection sets the tone for Charming Baldemor’s other collections. Drawing inspiration from the weaving techniques used in baskets and furniture commonly used by Filipinos, the Habi collection elevates these patterns to exhibit the artistry of the two traditions. Each bag features a soft leather lining and strap, and are topped off with a natural polyurethane finish to allow the wood grains to supplement the texture on each bag.
