HABI Comes to Central Square: Celebrating Filipino Artistry, Culture, and Sustainability
HABI, a beacon of Philippine culture and creativity, is thrilled to announce its upcoming event at Central Square Mall in Bonifacio Global City (BGC). From November 10 to 12, 2023, HABI will bring together over 20 artisans, craftsmen, and designers for a three-day extravaganza showcasing the finest handcrafted products that encapsulate the essence of the Philippines.
Nestled amidst the vibrant atmosphere of Central Square Mall, this event is a celebration of Philippine craftsmanship, a testament to our nation's artistic heritage. Visitors can expect to find a diverse range of handcrafted products, from exquisite textiles, fashionable shoes made from sustainable materials, limited edition bags, and fashion accessories to contemporary home decor and stunning jewelry pieces. Every item is a reflection of the remarkable craftsmanship and creativity that defines Philippine culture.
More than just a showcase, this event serves as a fundraising opportunity for the organization. In addition to grants from private and government entities, the proceeds from this event play a pivotal role in funding projects aimed at preserving, promoting, and propagating endemic threads and textiles. HABI creates sustainable connections with designers, distributors, and market agents, ensuring that cultural arts and practices are preserved in the face of rapid globalization.
This event offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the vibrant culture of the Philippines while directly supporting local communities and artisans. Whether you are a textile enthusiast, a fashion lover, or simply curious about the rich heritage of the Philippines, this is an event not to be missed. It's a chance to witness the convergence of tradition and modernity, sustainability and style, all under one roof.
