MANILA, Philippines – Rustan’s gears for back to school with a lineup of chic ensembles and accessories for every student’s changing needs, tastes and style.
A myriad of looks await students looking for a fresh statement to complement a new school year. Vintage tin lunchboxes are back in interesting designs from Loungefly. To match colored denims from Mavi are assorted tops from U Girls, U Boys and Loyal Army.
Statement tees make a comeback with Harajuku Lovers, pieces from Soul Edge, Local Celebrity and the basics from Alternative and Crooked Monkey.
Shoes make or break an outfit, so check out pairs from Havaianas, Sugar, Zipz and Substance. U Boys and U Girls offer a variety of bags with multiple pockets for organization, and so do Simple and Loungefly. Billabong’s caps and watches finish off the looks.
Beat the stress out of school with products from Rustan’s Essenses, starting with its collection of refreshingly scented bath gels and colognes. Keeping your skin fresh and blemish-free are the Dermalogica kits designed for each skin type.
Rustan’s has a lot in store for little tots as well. Check out the adorable lunchboxes and bags from Tutti Cutti, Hungry Jungle, Kiddos and Stephen Joseph. Hungry Jungle also carries sturdy backpacks in playful designs. Bring out the artist in your little one with Little Artist drawing sets, alongside Little Mismatched coin purses and notebooks. Basic black shoes for bigger kids come in different styles, from ballet flats to mary janes, available at Tarte Tatin, Kiddos and Rustanette.
Tumblers and mugs from Aladdin are available in various colors. Tiger lunch sets and bags come with containers and cutlery with stainless versions. Stanley’s food jar, on the other hand, holds food for more than one — a good idea for a group of friends who enjoy hanging out.
