Zarah Juan
As vibrant and full of life as the designer, Zarah Juan’s accessories are joyful pick-me-ups that never fail to bring a smile to our faces. Many of us have likely caught sight of her Jeepney Tote Bag, a staple of summer 2021 in local fashion; her unique Bupanda, which elevates our daily tees and tank tops; and her Batwing Mules, which make us feel like Filipina royalty wearing them. These pieces are not only fashion forward, but also make great souvenirs for tourists and thoughtful gifts for Filipinos living abroad.
For us, more than wearing and supporting the brand, what truly gives us pride in having one of her pieces is Juan’s success story. She turned her business into a social enterprise to give back and support our crafters and makers and celebrate the richness of Filipino culture at the same time. It’s no wonder her work has been featured on the pages of Vogue Italia, Vogue Hong Kong, and Vogue Philippines, and Juan herself has been recognized for being an inspiring woman and innovative entrepreneur.
Zarah Juan is available at Power Plant Mall, Outside the Box in SM Aura, Spatio in Opus Mall, and at www.zarahjuan.com.
