Midnight at the oasis
MANILA, Philippines - It’s the stuff of Arabian nights, of Aladdin and Ali Baba, and best expressed in the Maria Muldaur song, Midnight at the Oasis: love blooms amid parched desert sands, amid camels and cacti, sheiks and their harems. Fashion finds a natural affinity with such a setting, conjuring up images of windblown desert wear, suntanned leather, and sand-spangled glamour.
This summer, Pedro sends you off into a hot desert romance with its newest collection of shoes and bags for men and women.
Brogue shoes in oxford or wingtip, leather or suede are in full array for men. The footwear evokes the dashing and debonair world explorer of days past, ready to take on exotic faraway lands without breaking a sweat and — of course — getting the girl in the end.
Pedro bags for men bring on a few surprises as well, done in carryall sizes in leather or canvas. Worn across the chest or slung over the shoulder, the classic bags are masculine in look and feel, utilitarian in their function, but ultramodern and fashionable in style and quality.
Meanwhile, Pedro for Women channels the inner Arabian princess with luxurious and seductive items for long, hot nights.
Heels go sky high in fun patterns, like stripes on platform heels and studs on the leather straps. Ladies leather purses are lavishly quilted or embellished with hardware in desert tone colors like sand and earth.
An exciting variety of sandals for men and flats for women top off the entire collection.
Pedro is a shoes and accessories line of modern luxury that began its first operation in Singapore, and has since branched out to currently 27 stores throughout Southeast Asia and Dubai. Visit the Pedro nearest you at Bonifacio High Street, Global City Taguig; SM Mall of Asia; TriNoma; and soon to open at SM North EDSA.
