Handcrafted Abaca Summer Bags

ECHOstore now offers summer bags from hand crafted by the people of Draga, Albay. Each bag is made from local and natural Abaca and Raffia fiber that are abundant in the Bicol region.

Abaca is believed to be one of the strongest natural fibers while Raffia is a natural fiber that is used in sturdy rope weaving and textiles. These are durable and stylish totes that not only will carry all your summer essentials but is also great for the environment unlike most bags which are made from animal leather or synthetic leather and undergo a chemical process. Toting these bags is a great start to a fashionable green lifestyle.

Second Life

ECHOstore recently launched a new line of products called SECOND LIFE. Focused on supporting the environment, these products are made from old, discarded or unused items. The items are recycled, redesigned and recreated into new functional products, and literally given a ?second life?. SECOND LIFE supports home livelihood to assist in poverty alleviation, women empowerment and dignity of life.

The product line started with the donation of used tarpaulins from Rupert Sales (Rupert?s Signs & Display Services) one of the country?s biggest billboard suppliers. He sent over tons and tons of misprinted tarpaulins and banners to ECHOstore and wanted us to find good use for it. ECHOstore co-founder Jeannie Javelosa decided to go back to being an artist and started to look for ?design potential" in the scrap tarps before cutting them to specific sizes of bags and cases. We?ve even gone corporate with sleek all-white Second Life conference envelops which were used by CSR Asia Manila Forum participants at the conference held at the Ascott Hotel last May 28.

Go functional with our Second Life multi-purposes cases and colorful totes.
