Summer Must Have: Aranaz Bags

While the style of beach bags that are large and embroidered with text are certainly a trend that has continued to run its course for the better part of two seasons or so, Aranaz goes beyond your fashion-forward tote, providing styles that are not only stunningly sartorial but transfer from beach to evening without any effort in the slightest. They stem from a dream trio design team consisting of mother and daughters Becky, Amina and Rosanna Aranaz. Having created the line back in 1999 they strive to consistently celebrate living a life in leisure within each and every piece while simultaneously building upon artisanal craftsmanship and commemorating traditional Filipino artistry. Proof of this is easily spotted in each bag which has a handmade touch and sprinkling of exotic, thanks to natural-inspired embellishments and feminine flourishes like wood-carved florals, raffia sunbursts and colorful embroidery.
