Bed, beads and beyond
Here is a tote bag made of vintage inabel fabric. It’s very sturdy: we lug our computer and books in it. Rene is selling these for Php600 each; you can order them at rene.guatlo@gmail.com. There are only three pieces left. (Update: There are none left, but he’ll take advance orders if you can wait a few weeks.)
Raymond was having merienda at a lomi restaurant in Badoc, Ilocos Norte when he spotted a roadside stall selling beaded bags. He tried to haggle but the seller was adamant: Php550. Well they are labor-intensive.
