Florsheim Philippines Return to Classics Launch

Sunday, May 17, 2015

     Classic never go out of style, do you believe that? Raise you hand if your answer is a resounding yes! I always hear my father that a white ensemble from head to toe is his definition of going back to classics. Wearing all white for him never go out of style. For me, a classic piece of clothing that will always be in my closet is a pair of jeans. How do you define classic?

     Weeks ago, I was invited to Florsheim Philippines Return to Classics Launch. The event was held at the newly opened branch of Florsheim in Ayala Fairview Terraces. During the event, top regional executive of Florsheim, Mr. Eric Leung, shared to us that the brand sees their relevance in the Filipino market because more than fashion, quality tops the heart of a Filipino consumer in choosing the right kind of footwear to buy. Highlights of the event after the jump. Scroll down please :)

  1. Florsheim is definitely one of the longest footwear brands and my mom would always say that it's better to invest in classics so you can always keep it around as oppose to super trendy.:)
