Tanned in Manila Archives - Dragon Chatter

Hello Sweeties!

I admit like most women I love bags (and shoes but that is another story). I was pretty psyched when I attended The Tannery Manila`s Pop-up Sale at Ground Floor of Tiendesitas last month. Since I did not know what to expect, I decided to arrive early for the event, dressed in my most comfortable clothes, I am prepared to immerse myself in search of great finds. Imagine, they have high-quality leather article, from bags to accessories that are 100% handcrafted and Proud Philippine made.

There was lot to see. This is a photo heavy post, and if you love all things leather, be prepared to be enamored!
