G&G in Metro Society November Issue

This month, G&G is featured in Metro Society in an article aptly titled "Shopping for the Soul"

G&G Executive Director Greg Perez says "I think the time of thinking of only ourselves is up. We are now more responsible and accountable for each other. We can't just say 'I don't care if this (product) comes from a sweatshop.' That's not the way to live anymore. Being discerning consumers benefits all of us."

The article features great shots of our best-selling newspaper bags, T'boli bell charm, bags from the Retazo Collection made from scrap upholstery fabric, a black chest from Potrero, one of our retaso teddy bears, this one in fatigue-colored brocade, and a sneak preview of our elegant day-to-night necklaces made from scrap fabric embellished with an etched brass ring.

Green Christmas Shopping

Christmas is just around the corner and we're sure most of you have already started your Christmas shopping. Whether you're shopping at G&G or at one of your favorite malls, have fun Christmas shopping the green way by saying no to plastic and saying yes to reusable bags. 

The ideal bag is roomy, sturdy, and of course stylish. G&G's great reusable bags are all three. To help you be eco-friendly stylish this Christmas shopping season, choose from among these:

  

 

    

For boho chic, pick up one of our harina bags made from upcycled flour sacks and jute sacks. You'll love the different funky flour sack designs. Did you know that there's a flour company named Cinderella with of course a Cinderella designed sack? Available at the Ayala Museum Museum Shop

For classic elegance, shop with one of our beautiful newspaper bags in our iconic women series. Channel Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Jackie O, or Marilyn Monroe. All images are handpainted by Pandacan artist Boy Buenafe. Available at the Edsa Shangri-la Manila Lobby Shop

For serious grocery shopping, you can't go wrong with our extra large magazine bag. You'll love how colorful magazine strips are woven banig-style to make this bag. And you'll love how this bag is waterproof so it's great for the beach as well. Available at major Kultura Filipino branches

Our stylish directory boat bag is a fun way to promote your advocacy in going green. It's roomy enough to go shopping for fun accessories for your girlfriends and kikay nieces. Available at major Kultura Filipino branches

Last but not the least, our foldable canvass bag doubles as both a great purse and a handy shopping bag. The woven cloth detail on the pocket gives it a distinctive and unique modern Filipino look. Available at the Ayala Museum Museum Shop. 

All the bags are also available at the G&G office at the Mile Long Building Amorsolo St. Makati. In our last post, we posted our calendar of upcoming bazaars! We hope to see you there with your very own reusable G&G shopping bag!
