WATCH: Tessa Prieto breaks bell rope for free wine
MANILA, Philippines — Socialite Tessa Prieto is back to being the life of the party as she spread fun and laughter at Rustan Makati's summer launch last week.
Among the activities at the launch was the “Ring for Bubbly” wall by the Philippine Wine Merchant, where one can ring a bell in a makeshift wall. After ringing the bell, a hand would pop out the grassy wall with a glass of wine or beer.
Wanting to taste the wine, Tessa tried to ring the bell, but she pulled so hard that the rope broke, sending onlookers into a laugh trip. She, however, was still able to get her glass of wine from the hand in the wall!
This summer in Rustan's, nature is seamlessly integrated into its indoor spaces with the use of natural elements and matcha green as the main colorway for the store’s visuals and design. This results in an immersive atmosphere that aims to mentally transport customers to a serene outdoor oasis, empowering them to embrace the essence of the season.
The getaway begins with a peek from the premier luxury department store's iconic window displays, each exuding luxury and style. Showcasing a diverse range of summer must-haves — including resort wear, menswear, children’s wear, home items, and beauty essentials— these captivating displays aim to elevate the shopping experience, offering customers a glimpse into the joy and wellness that await inside the store.
On the 5th floor, the space comes alive with a variety of outdoor settings, each curated to showcase the store's finest selections in immersive environments.
