Youthful Beauty Never Goes Out of Fashion
“Seriously?!” I exclaimed while picking my jaw off the floor.
As I can’t claim to be extravagantly rich on my own merit, I could only stare through the Aranaz store window (Greenbelt 5, Power Plant) each time I walk past it. If you’re a genuine bag connoisseur, you know that owning an Aranaz is up there. Have you seen their collections? Dear me. Gorgeous, gorgeous! They’re the bags for high fashion!
I digress, though.
The invite for the OLAY Regenerist launch was cradled in the womb of the Aranaz handbag and in the arms of a new set of the Regenerist line. Yes, I was definitely, definitely impressed. Holding the huge fuschia paper bag with the Aranaz monogram in the middle alone had taken my breath away.
What am I going to do with two (2) sets of the Regenerist line that I now have? Ah, well — my mum’s on Regenerist now, too. LOL. About the bag? Need you ask? It can also end up in the arms of the bag lady (aka my mum).
The Loft at the Rockwell will be littered with fashionable folks dressed in black and red cocktails, mingling and talking about their interest in youthful beauty on the 25th. I really, REALLY hope I’d get to go THIS time. Gah.

Bambi: Still keeping my fingers crossed. I REALLY WANT TO GO. Wish my schedule will free up a little.
Now that’s an invitation that’s IMPOSSIBLE to turn down.
Can I ask for some of your lucky stars? Haha! But seriously, the perks of being an internationally-known blogger!
The bag looks gorgeous! I saw it on the other post!
ah??!!! wow! im uber envious
how come i was invited for this launching… just kidding. but, hey, a girl can dream right 
err…. wasn’t invited i mean.
wow…!!cool bag..never heard of it..lol
OMG! i don’t want to look at this fabulous bag and drool over and over again simply because i cannot afford to buy one..sigh***
I’m into bags but I can’t afford to buy an expensive one.
nice promo! however i disagree, i have an aranaz bag which i bought way before they opened a store in rockwell. had to return the bag a few times even before i used it as the beads kept unraveling. i personally think their bags are overpriced for designs that have been “inspired” by major brands such as Prada, Bottega, and Pierre Hardy.
Andie: Sorry to hear that. I know we’re all entitled to our own opinions but a word of caution, you have to check for facts before speaking allegations like that. I’ve seen Aranaz bags and ones from Prada, Bottega and such, I haven’t seen any semblance.
I’m a bagaholic and know my designer bags well. after i saw some of the bags at their boutique, i was kind of disappointed. well here’s one bag i recently noticed which kind of reminded me of my prada.
just an observation:

Again sorry to hear that. I’ll leave it to you then. I hope you’re prepared to answer them should they come across your comments.
I’ve been buying bags from Aranaz from their bazaar days. Their prices really have increased from their early days in the business. But i’ve noticed along with the price increase is also a better level of quality and raw materials so i dont mind paying. In fact i have seen their designs being duplicated by some “aranaz-wanna-be designers” in the market now. I continue to support aranaz coz they are the pioneers in making filipino indigenous style modern and fashion forward.
Hi I would just like to comment of Katrina Sam. I think the pioneer in making Filipino indigenous bags in modern style is Cora Jacobs from the 70’s. I recently met her in Amsterdam and she was a designer for fashion houses like Dior, Givenchy and Yves Saint Laurent even before our brilliant modern designers came into picture. Nonetheless, I am very proud that a lot of young artists followed her steps.
