Bagfull & the Woman Behind Its Success

I know you've been waiting for this. I just prolonged the agony because I really wanted to share with you how HR is connected to Rhambo & I. We are not just HS batchmates, we were once in a puppy love triangle. Haha! So sino ba si HR? If you have read this & this, you'll get her name. But I don't want you to think like you're solving a Math problem, so I'll give it to you. It's Honey Reyes --- the woman behind the master pieces of Bagfull.

What started out as passion for fashion & selling has now turned into a full time serious bag business. And not just something like what you can say as "extra income". This is HR's bread & butter. Like what I said in my previous post, she took BS Entrepreneurship in Miriam College. According to her, "mas nadevelop na din, passion ko talaga".
HR at a bazaar booth during college years.

She didn't stop in pursuing her fashion dreams. She even studied Fashion Styling at the Fashion Institute of the Philippines, which led her to a lot of opportunities. For some narrow-minded individuals, fashion is such a shallow concept of being human. But for people like HR, fashion is passion.

HR attended the Philippine Fashion Week

Unlike most of the online sellers in the entire cyberlandia, Bagfull has not  really experienced bad things business-wise. HR, as how she puts it, encountered challenges. See, what a positive lady she is! Sometimes, the bag maker has incomplete tasks & will leave it hanging, to HR's frustration, for sure. But since she studied for this & has her heart in it, she never gives up just like that. That cheery disposition shows   on her designs, too --- aztec prints, bright palettes & bold colors.







Being the designer of Bagfull, it's really her pride & joy that celebrities took notice. I don't have an Instagram account so I can't follow her & check who's who. But since I'm a Facebook fanatic, I always see Bagfull's page busy with photos of celebrities donning any of the wide array of fashionable totes, iPhone cases, iPad sleeves & bags. Sam Pinto, Ryza Cenon, Kit Kat, Chynna Hortaleza, Tricia Gosingtian (wow!) and the princess of fashion blogging industry, Laureen Uy. Do I need to say more? You're so kawawa reading this if you don't know who Laureen Uy is! :)






Follow Bagfull on Instagram

Her bags aren't only available through her IG & FB fan page, but also in all SM Department Stores in Metro Manila. Yes, she's a supplier. Taray ba?! When I was making kwento nga to MIL about HR when my bags arrived (super duper thanks, Hon!), I somehow felt "panghihinayang" in her voice when she asked "oh, eh  'di sino na lang napangasawa nun?" Juice ko, muntik ako malaglag sa inuupuan ko! Naikwento ko kasi ang kabataan namin. Kaloka si MIL. Haha!


Anyway, where was I? So there, since Bagfull went viral in IG, more inquiries poured in, which prompted her to open a Facebook page in order to cater to a wider audience. Should you want to purchase a Bagfull creation, you can email or text your full name, IG name (if you have), address, order details to 09178626622 or to bagfullmanila@yahoo.com. Payment options are cash deposits to BDO, BPI & GCash. Shipping fee costs Php50-110 per bag and is shouldered by the buyer. All bags are sent through Metrowide Express.


For now, alam kong nagastos niyo na the sweldo (yours or your hubby's) for the 15th & matagal pa ang bonus, so HR & I thought of giving this bag to one lucky winner! This bag is called Celine. As always, I use Rafflecopter. Strictly follow the rules. If you won't accomplish all the mandatory requirements, all the following entries you'll enter will be invalid. This giveaway will end on December 10. Anyone could join as long as you have a valid Philippine shipping address where HR could send the prized bag (pun intended) should you win. I will test you a little on how well you have "stalked" my blog so better prepare. I know I would be asking too much questions/requirements pero mas masarap manalo ng pinaghirapan, davah. Chos. Kindly wait for the Rafflecopter widget to load. Good luck, honeys! ♥
