Rafe-rrific!

Everyone really loves Shoes,
But same as shoes another
Accessories everyone (actually more for Girls)
Really love to buy is Bag.

If for shoes, I really adore Kermit Tesoro's designs
For Bags, of course I will choose also a Filipino Designer
and this designer is no other than
Rafe Totengco.


Rafe Totengco designed and launched his namesake handbag collection, Rafé New York, at leading U.S. boutiques way back 1997 . Since then the Rafé brand has increased distribution outlets internationally, and expanded into other accessory categories and women's footwear. Skilled in balancing fashion and function creates products that loyal fans say never go out of style. Rafé is recognized in the industry to be one of the most acclaimed of a new generation of American-International fashion designers. 

In 2010 Rafé Totengco was appointed by The Jones Group Inc. to the newly created position of Creative Director for Handbags, to work with others across the Company to create a compelling product vision for Jones' handbag brands. His responsibilities include creating products for the retail, wholesale and international divisions. (As seen on his website www.rafe.com)

I really admire his designs, although it is for women. Some maybe also been used by guys.
Its just really how you carry the bag that makes it for male, female or unisex. One more thing, i also like named his designs like giving names using A-B-C which is really cool for me. One proof that I have that I really like his designs are the styling i made for my styling portfolio I have on this blogsite. 

Here are some of my favorite from his Spring/Summer 2013 Collection.





Really love his Suze and Tina Bag.


Really like both of this and it that color and design.
Love it so much!
Words cannot explain the feeling
When i first saw these two bags!
Really ADORABLE!

CFDA Filipino Designer Member, Rafe Totengco's next collection

I am really so Proud to say
I am a Filipino
Because of you and other Filipino Achievers
Worldwide!

Love,
JM Ching
