Timeless Pieces and Rainy Day Fashion

While it's summer in other parts of the world, here in the Philippines, where our main production site is located, we are now experiencing the rainy season. During these months, the archipelago shifts from it's warm, sunny, and dry climate into the wet season. In addition to the yearly monsoon, the Philippines expects a steady stream of tropical storms and typhoons consisting of heavy rain and strong winds. 

"It's a gloomy Tuesday! I took advantage of the weather by wearing my favorite embellished scarf over a simple white tunic top then grabbed a blazer to keep me warm. I want it to be casual so I completed the ensemble by wearing my fave blue jeans, then I picked my open toe heels to complete my outfit for the day."- Kim Basa, Amaya 

And so our style advocate, and proud owner of Amaya , took the wet weather as an advantage to wear her favorite embellished scarves from Palamuti. Though the Philippines is considered as a hot and humid climate, when the wind and rain arrives in force, people still experience the cold because the country gets drenched. 

As a working mom who works in a corporate office,  Kim's sense of style generally revolves around her everyday office attires. Her choice of ensemble springs from her fashion intuition and love for dressing up. She keeps a collection of staple outfits in-hand, while adding a twist, by incorporating carefully selected accessories. Styling is also another form of creativity, and she uses her sense of style to give life to her rainy day outfits; while most simply cope with another tedious day of pouring rain. Draping an original, handmade scarf around her neck during these days shows her ability to balance fashion intuition and practical use. 

As such, Amaya and Palamuti have teamed up in creating new and exciting scarf necklaces. We can't wait to see the outcome of this partnership with Kim. We are privileged to be working with someone who has so many wonderful ideas on how to elevate a simple scarf to a unique, one-of-a-kind piece that every woman should have.
