There is a certain premium in genuine leather goods; they are in fact a statement in their own right. Leather is classic, dependable, and durable, and when taken cared of can be passed down to another generation.
But an authentic and good quality leather item—say, a bag or a pair of shoes—is a covetable luxury that doesn’t come cheap.
Enter Rabeanco: a fashion accessories brand that takes pride in its leather expertise.
Since its inception in 2004, Rabeanco has aimed to provide high quality leather goods at a much more reasonable price range.
“Most [of our bags] are within the range of 8 to 20 (thousand pesos). We have some in 20 to 25. Very affordable for a real leather bag,” Joanna Co, marketing director of Tykes Trading, Inc. (local distributor of Rabeanco, Paez, and Melissa, among others) told Manila Standard.
According to Co, each Rabeanco bag is made of Italian leather and is manufactured in Hong Kong—linking the leather goods business of the two countries.
Celebrating its five years in the Philippines, the brand remains popular among career women, with its bestseller being a versatile tote bag—dubbed Blithe—that transforms from satchel to shoulder bag.
Apart from premium materials and “easy-to-wear” designs, Rabeanco takes pride in the wide variety of colors they offer for each style. In addition to neutral blacks and grays, there are also blue, green, lilac, red, yellow, and pink, among other shades.
“So when you go to our stores, you are sure to find something that fits your style,” enthused Co.
Early this month, Rabeanco introduced its new releases available at its branches in Shangri-La Plaza, SM Mall of Asia, and SM Aura.
The new collection is composed of Elsa Crossbody (ultra-functional shoulder strap bag), Lara Mini Crossbody (roomy yet minimalist strap bag), Lovett Shoulder Bag (bucket bag), Mara Satchel (features architectural shape), Sole Satchel (features classic tote shape), Amme Shoulder Bag (canvas bag within a leather bucket bag), and Ellen Satchel (roomy structured satchel).
Also included are Henri Knotted Shoulder Bag (sleek bag with dual main compartments), Cube Small Backpack (backpack that doubles as a handbag), Waterfall X Backpack (patent backpack), and Kanga X Backpack (slim and roomy backpack equivalent of a sexy minaudière).
From today until May 15, Rabeanco is offering complimentary monogram services for every purchase of its Blithe or Casual Tote.
