Handmade by local artisans in Metro Manila from upcycled woven textiles, indigenous fabrics, and locally sourced leather, the backpack is an intricately woven and sewn travel companion that also doubles as a structured shoulder bag for school or work.
Blending remote work and leisure travel is all the rage these days. Globe Platinum is giving its valued subscribers the extra confidence and flair when they go on their “workcation” with limited-edition travel gear handcrafted exclusively for them.
The Mundo Convertible Backpack is a must-have for every Globe Platinum subscriber looking to mix work and vacation as the world slowly reopens and more people are becoming more comfortable to travel again.
More than a statement travel accessory, it is part of the sustainable fashion line that social entrepreneur and Rags2Riches president and founding partner Reese Ruiz created for Globe Platinum. The latest Platinum Series is a campaign launched to empower its loyal Platinum customers to own the extraordinary with meticulously curated pieces from celebrated Filipino artists.
Handmade by local artisans in Metro Manila from upcycled woven textiles, indigenous fabrics, and locally sourced leather, the backpack is an intricately woven and sewn travel companion that also doubles as a structured shoulder bag for school or work.
Platinum subscribers can pre-order this exclusive collectible, which comes in two variations—blue and tan, and blue monochrome, for ₱7,999.
But each purchase is not just a fashion statement or an appreciation for Filipino craftsmanship, it comes with a noble cause: a World Vision school kit is donated to a child in need for every order made under Globe Platinum’s #ForFutureHeroes program.
Aside from the backpack, a parka, a carry-all, and cross-body bag are part of Ruiz’s limited-edition Mundo Collection, perfect for traveling in style and comfort.
Ruiz was tapped as Globe Platinum’s ambassador along with visual artist Leeroy New and producer-director Jay Oliva, who directed the hit Netflix series
