LOOK: Designer Zarah Juan unveils beach-ready Mobula bag

Here’s how you can get your hands on the manta ray-inspired piece

Zarah Juan’s artisanal creations have solidified their place as one of the most distinctive brands in the country. Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of Filipino culture, the designer’s eponymous label specializes in crafting bags and accessories that seamlessly integrate traditional elements with contemporary style. The brand has successfully carved a niche as a premier provider of wearable art for everyday use, reflecting a harmonious blend of cultural heritage and modern fashion.

This summer, Rustan’s The Beauty Source is acknowledging three remarkable artists as part of their annual GRLPWR event to celebrate Women’s Month. Taking place on March 7, 2024, at Rustan’s Shangri-La Plaza in Mandaluyong City, Rustan’s is gearing up to shine a spotlight on indie musician Clara Benin, illustrator Elle Battung, and Zarah Juan.

Similar to previous GRLPWR events, this year promises a lineup of special activities from beauty brands strategically placed throughout the venue. Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy a performance by Clara, who will serenade the audience, while Elle surprises everyone with her mural art. Zarah, on the other hand, will make her exclusive Mobula Bag collaboration with Rustan’s The Beauty Source available.

The Mobula Bag draws inspiration from the manta ray, featuring a unique design crafted with pebble-like beads resembling the sea creature. The bag is highlighted with a leather enclosure and adjustable strap, available in three colors: black, tan, and natural white, designed to complement any resort look. This exclusive bag will be offered to Beauty Addict members only for a minimum purchase of P30,000 from The Beauty Source until Apr. 30, 2024.

In addition to this exclusive offer, Beauty Addict members can anticipate more promos for the Women’s Month celebration. From March 1 to May 31, 2024, members who make a purchase of P5,000 will receive one e-raffle entry for a chance to win an all-inclusive four-day, three-night stay for two in the Garden View Villa of Nay Palad Hideaway in Siargao, inclusive of round-trip flights. Beauty Addict members can also enhance their beauty shopping experience from March 8 to 31, 2024, as each purchase equates to five times the points.
