The definitive must-have from the Aranáz x Plains & Prints collab

Plains & Prints has just scored a style coup by collaborating with artisanal accessories brand Aranáz.

Aranáz for Plains & Prints is a summer capsule collection featuring seven fashion pieces and eight bags, using locally sourced materials and Aranáz’s signature flamingo, coconut, and pineapple prints.

The definitive must-buy? The chic Elena clutch (P2998), a favorite of both Plains & Prints vice president Roxanne Farillas and Aranáz’s creative director Amina Aranaz-Alunan.

“It’s versatile and really special,” tips Amina, who loves the clutch in classic black. Meanwhile, Farillas prefers the orange print, just the thing to give minimalist outfits a “pop of color.”

“We’ve done collaborations with different designers, and this year we wanted to do something different — not only with clothes, but also with bags. And who is the best to collaborate with [when it comes to] bags? Aranáz!” shares Roxanne.

A favorite of international fashion magazines, stylish jetsetters, and even European royalty, Aranáz is collaborating with a local retail brand for the first time, bringing its luxe, tropical aesthetic to the popular clothing line Plains & Prints.

“This collaboration isn’t just a new fashion collection,” continues Roxanne. “It’s also a movement to showcase the work of creative visionaries and empower talented craftspeople in the Philippines.” — LA, GMA News
