Purse Partner for JUNE : School of Satchels


TADA!!!
Time for a meet and greet with your Purse Prime Partner for the month of JUNE and its no other than... SCHOOL OF SATCHEL!

The S.O.S Distinction

Fused Leather vs. S.O.S Leather
Some leather brands achieve their near ‘perfect’ finish by using fused leather, which means that these are small fragments of scrap leather fused together and then heavily retouched and painted to create a smooth finish. Instead, S.O.S uses full pieces of hide in order to create the panels of the bag and keeps the color retouching to a minimum. Fused leather products are still promoted as ‘genuine leather’, which is true, but in reality it’s genuine scrap leather.

Unique like a thumbprint
S.O.S understands the natural properties of leather and we do our best to minimize ‘correcting’ the leather. If you look closely, you can still see traces and patterns of the original hide in each S.O.S product. Each hide is as unique as a thumbprint and no two S.O.S products are exactly alike.

Pinoy premium
It is sometimes frustrating to look for good quality products locally (especially leather products). Many choose to buy imported brands only to find out later on that itis ‘Made in the Philippines’. S.O.S joins the league of other local brands that have set the standard for manufacturing Pinoy premium items and making them available locally. Don’t you just feel better buying proudly Pinoy items? And at reasonable prices at that.

Handmade with love
S.O.S products are made by skilled leather craftsmen in the Philippines with very particular attention to detail. The process involves days of research, development, creating prototypes and then testing in order to create the bag that you now love. In our humble opinion, it’s all worth it. What do you think?

Made in the Philippines

On Hand and Ready to Ship!

Must haves for every bag!

Kwey and I finally got a hold of the much awaited products and we couldn't be happier!  In fact, our courier could probably vouch for us looking like we've just received gifts come Christmas morning.  Actually it looked a lot like we were about to rip open the boxes.

I, (L.A.) actually ended up hoarding one full set for my own.  These products are just too amazing to pass on especially if you're bags are pretty important to you!

Were getting ready for a full on product shoot.  Watch out for that one!

Toodles,

L.A. and Kwey

From NYC to MNL...

...and next, to your CLOSETS!!!

Yes, bag lovers! Purse Prime products are finally in Manila!

Its fascinating to hear about everyone's excitement about the product and were just as excited to send them all out to you.

Now, like us, were pretty sure you can't wait to try it on your bags BUT we highly recommend that you first, bring out all the manufacturer tags and treating instructions suggested by the manufacturer. This information PLUS the care guides we provide will guarantee best results for your bag.
