Save My Bag with Kiana Valenciano x Daryl Feril Collection Launch

     Last week, I was invited to the launch of another first in the fashion industry- the ‘it’ bag crafted entirely in Bergamo, Italy — Save My Bag, designed for the cool and aspirational set by husband and wife tandem Stefano and Valentina Agazzi at SM Megamall.

     I've witnessed the unveiling of the latest collection by brilliant artists in the fashion industry. These talented individuals come up with a uniquely stylized collection that can be called a fashion revolution- Save My Bag with Kiana Valenciano x Daryl Feril Collection! See the story behind the collection and choose the design that fits your lifestyle below :)

     Enter, then, Kiana Valenciano. After studying at the Raffles Design Institute and the prestigious Central Saint Martins in London (where the likes of Stella McCartney and John Galliano matriculated) and already an Instagram celeb in her own right, Kiana is excited to plunge into the glamorous world of fashion, armed with her knack in trend spotting and her fresh, free-spirited yet functional attitude. And for her most anticipated debut, Kiana takes on the reigns as style curator and creative team captain of a special, purely bespoke Save My Bag Collection — totally chic, uber trendy.

     “The ‘cool beyond the rules’ philosophy of Save My Bag really fits my personality,” Kiana relates. ”And it’s this kind of mindset that I applied to this collection, along with the spirit of close creative teamwork.” 

     Joining her formidable team — her squad — is internationally acclaimed illustrator Daryl Feril (he was introduced to her by no less than eventologist Tim Yap) who is rendering his art to individualise the bags, which are ultra lightweight, rain proof, and made from hi-tech Poly-Lycra.

     Powering this collection is her singular vision: one of collaboration—interfacing with young, talented, Filipino visionaries with a global perspective, just like Feril, who has worked with top global brands and design studios in Asia, USA and Europe (among them LVMH and Tory Burch) and has been featured in Juxtapoz Magazine.

      Here are the fashionable designs from the collection which I recommend for the the bag lovers out there. The bag is very light and perfect if you want to amp up your fashion game. The floral designs are perfect for the summer season while those neutral colors can be paired if you love monochrome outfits.

• Daryl turned each and every bag into a unique canvas — allowing him to express his artistry freely. 
• Lycra is a challenging fabric to work on, he experimented with different media in order to perfect his technique, and turned to Acrylic paint as his chosen medium. This ensures that the paint sticks to the surface for longevity.
• The illustration style is very pretty which is a burst of floral, taking inspiration from nature which has some of the craziest patterns, colors and creatures. A collaborative effort, which Daryl took in inputs from Kiana.
