Saan Tayo Pupunta? is a campaign and collection inspired by our collective girlhood experience of playing dress up as young kids.

But in true R2R fashion (pun intended), we resonated with this question on an even deeper level.

To us, it is also a life prompt we use as we take intentional steps towards our purpose while honoring the path towards it.

We don’t just fix our eyes on where we are going, we also smell the proverbial flowers along the way.

This collection is launching on April 26. Find out by signing up for the waitlist on r2r.ph/summer2024. Click the link in our bio 👉🏼

Saan Tayo Pupunta? could be a very practical question with practical answers. But it could be a soul-searching question with surprising answers.

This collection is an exploration of not just our creativity and self-expression — but also new parts of who we are as a brand and community.

Saan Tayo Pupunta? started as an aesthetic concept that also resonated with our exploration of the paths we take towards what matters to us the most.

A little story on why we changed our logo 👉🏼 Swipe to read!

Essentially, we want to introduce R2R to the world in the clearest way possible. We want our future advocates to look at our logo and read it exactly in the way it was intended: no stress, no confusion, just clarity.

What’s next?

All of our socials, website, newsletters, hang tags, and other brand assets will now be carrying the new logo.

However, we still have some products and stocks of metal labels and cloth labels with the old logo. What will we do with them? Since it does not align with our values to just discard them, you might still get a few pieces from us with the old logo until the end of this year. Treat them well and keep them close, they might be collector’s items in the future. 🥰

Some of your old faves are back, like this Buslo Mini in Teal 💙 Shop this on-hand, as well as some other Ready Today pieces, via the link in bio 👉🏼 r2r.ph

Because you are part of our community, we’ll tell you this little secret we have been holding for a few months now: we are doing a brand refresh and you’ll be one of the first to see it!

As with anything we do, we are launching this with intention. So it is not just the logo we are refreshing, we are also doubling down on creating even better pieces for you this 2024 and beyond. But the best ideas don’t just live in our minds, in fact, you hold the key! We are designing for you after all.

Scan the QR code to get the link to the survey! Thank you in advance, advocates 💗

NOTE: This survey will be open for respondents until April 15, 2024 - while the gift code will be valid until April 30, 2024 only.

Rare Ready Today pieces aka R2R bags you can shop on-hand ASAP 🏃🏻‍♀️💨

Our artisans have been working hard to fulfill both our looooong pre-order list AND make on-hand pieces of our latest bestsellers for you! And so we want to ask: What else would you like to see on-hand, advocates? 👀 Comment below and we can see if we can prio it on our list, too 👇🏼

A Bento Bag only for you 😍 Hint: this is also a perfect Mother’s Day gift. Swipe to see how you can customize your own Bento Bag 👉🏼

We have a gift for you 🎁👉🏼

We have this gift because we love you, but also because handmade things are made by humans. And we love that! But doing things the way we do takes a lot of time.

For the past few weeks, we needed more time than usual because the humans who make our pieces were going through human things we all go through: getting sick, resting, and recharging again.

This is why, as we ease back into our routine and ensure the health and safety of our artisans, we are also adjusting our pre-order timelines to 4 to 6 weeks.

We know that sounds long. And we are grateful for your patience, support, and amazing EQ - really, how are you so amazing? So when you shop during this time, we are adding a little something for you: a free leather bag tag with your initials (up to 3 repeating initials).

The art and the artist. 🫀

The Sacred Heart Wall Art is a multi-media piece that combines Leeroy New’s signature Sacred Heart, a painted sawdust art piece, with R2R’s signature weave. It comes in three themes but as each piece is handmade, every piece is still one-of-a-kind.

The Leeroy New x R2R Collaboration Collection features a series of wearable art pieces that embody a fusion of distinct artistic philosophies and craftsmanship. It is a dialogue between two creatives, exploring the intersections of the ethereal and the practical, the modern and the traditional, art and utility.

Pre-order the pieces online at r2r.ph/leeroynew or click the link in our bio 👉🏼

This collection is a dialogue between two creatives, exploring the intersections of the ethereal and the practical, the modern and the traditional, art and utility.

It also stands as a testament to the possibilities that emerge when contemporary design meets traditional craftsmanship, offering not just a range of wearable art pieces but a meaningful narrative that bridges diverse creative worlds.

2024 travel resolution: Always wear something local wherever we go. 🇵🇭✈️🌏 Thanks for proudly bringing R2R on your adventures around the world, advocates!

2023 has been so amazing and inspiring for the R2R team in so many ways!

We collaborated with a distinguished Thai social enterprise (DoiTung), created wearable art with Filipino artist Leeroy New, upcycled tarps in a new way together with Power Plant Mall, created an art piece for the National Museum together with the Design Center of the Philippines, co-designed bags with four local fashion creatives through OPPO Philippines, and so much more!

But no matter what we do, where we go, and who we work with, we remain so rooted in who we are and why we do what we do. We exist to create opportunities for community artisans and create positive impact in small and big ways.

We have been working on 2024 since a few months ago and let me tell you that things are getting more exciting.

We have other surprise collaborations and collections launching soon. You’ll also be seeing us on global stages and places with more iconic R2R bags and clothes that represent Filipino creativity, ingenuity, and compassion.

We’ll also be building a Circular Design Lab where we’ll innovate on upcycling more materials and open workshops for lifelong learners who want to just learn or build careers around sustainability.

There are so many exciting things to come this 2024 and we won’t continue to spoil, but we hope you’ll be along for the ride.

Thank you for the past 16 years, advocates! Here is to many more joyful stories together. 🤍
