MANILA, Philippines -Kultura Filipino, astore where you can always find all things uniquely Filipino, recently showcased its holiday collection in an early Christmas brunch at its SM Aura Premier store.
Members of the diplomatic community, corporate executives, and lovers of purely organic and native home decor as well as fashion clothing and accessories joined the early Christmas shopping at Kultura Filipino.
From traditional wreaths, topiaries and festive trees to contemporary candelabras and recycled ornaments, there are endless ways to bring the holiday spirit into your home. Aside from glittering red and green, burgundy silk hydrangeas and a variety of natural materials such as dried leaves, abaca pips, pine cones and twigs hand-finished in subtle shades of gold. Parols (lanterns), belens (creshes), capiz ornaments, and angels add a truly Filipino touch.
Kultura Filipino’s Crafts for a Cause collection includes products from livelihood projects of various foundations that have adopted marginalized communities as their beneficiaries.
