Kipling Re-Opens at SM Megamall + KAEON Collection

My daughter Berry's school bag is a Kipling trolley and a couple of my co-moms have been asking me where I got her bag. First of all, it's light weight, second it's cute, third it's so functional and easy to maneuver. What more can a girl and her mom ask? No wonder Berry's classmates want one too!

So, to my fellow parents looking for a school bag for your kids, just thought you should know that Kipling recently re-opened in Megamall to a whole lot of fanfare at the 3/F Atrium last April 20. 

The store looks amazing, and the bags, as expected are colorful, fun, water repellent and functional, made in their signature crinkled nylon fabric.

But it gets better. Because Kipling Philippines has also just brought in their KAEON Collection, the newest and most stylish innovative collection of Kipling to date. Not to mention, SUSTAINABLE.

The KAEON Collection is made out of an eco- friendly fabric called “Aires”, a lightweight material that is 100% water repellent and made with 37% recycled fibers and 90% less water during the important dyeing process.

It's just a bonus really that the bags are just so darn cute! Fashion-forward even! The Fuzzy Friend clutch is my favorite, but the On a Roll backpack is a close second. I love the details on these bags, from the furry textures to the leather handles.

A seamless combination of style and sustainability if you ask me. Now if that doesn't make you feel good about your purchase, I don't know what else will.

bobble ain't no trouble

It's not what you think. These are not blobs with colorful innards. These are bobbles. As in, well, a bobble.

A bobble is a plastic bottle yes, but not the bad kind. bobble is free of BPA, Phthalates and PVC and its spout has a filter that can filter tap water equal to 300 single-serve bottles. Which means not having to buy 300 mineral/distilled water bottles. So not only do you get to save money, you also get to do your part in lessening your carbon footprint. Good stuff.

Now what when you are done refilling that bobble 300 times? Then you can always buy a new filter, in a different color each time if you'd like, so you can keep on reusing the bobble for as long as it can hold water, no pun intended.

According to the bobble website, "one estimate suggests that the world consumes more than 200 billion single-serve bottles of water per year." Just imagine the magnitude and scale of 200 billion plastic water bottles packed into a landfill.  That's not a pretty sight.

But water in a bobble? That's as stylish and sustainable as water can get.

In the Philippines, bobble is available at Aura Athletica, Numa, Planet Sports, PacSports and studios such as Bliss Yoga, Urban Ashram and Plana Forma. Outside of Metro Manila, find bobble at Red Dot Laoag, Le Kitsch Lifestyle Shop and Sole Patrol.
