OPPO’s creatives, Rei Germar, David Guison, Pam Quiñones, and Daryl Chang, will design limited edition bags, placing Filipino craftsmanship and sustainability at the forefront. Joanarc Sales, Head of PR and CRM at OPPO Philippines, expressed the company’s commitment to impactful partnerships.
Collaboration rooted in sustainability
OPPO and R2R have partnered to create exclusive fashion pieces that promote sustainability and local artistry. The dumpling bag, designed by Rei Germar, features a woven body made from upcycled fabric and gussets made from indigenous Binetwagan weaves. It features genuine leather trims, a magnetic snap top closure, cotton fabric lining, and inner side snaps. The Loop Bag, designed by Pam Quiñones, is R2R’s first completely hand-stitched bag, using no machine and featuring only the fabric used for the body. Both bags are vegan and eco-friendly.
Daryl Chang’s Ring Sling Bag contains a leather drawstring pouch, a round zip purse, and a phone sleeve in jersey woven panel, all attached to a round ring through metal hooks. It also comes with a detachable and adjustable leather strap.
The Pixel Crossbody Bag designed by David Guison is a rectangular crossbody bag made with upcycled fabric woven into a Blocks pattern. It features genuine leather trims, a top zip closure, an exterior back zip pocket, and cotton fabric lining. Both the short handle and wide, adjustable long strap are made with genuine leather. It comes with a bag charm in the form of a key ring and upcycled fabric tassels.
