Built NY in Manila

My friend Oliver Sy invited the SoMoms to a lunch recently to share with us the latest brand he brought into Manila.Oliver who I've known for more than 5 years now is a young dynamic entrepreneur, always scouting for interesting brands from abroad. His latest find for the local market is BUILT NY, a high quality line of bags, lunchbags, accessories made of neoprene which was originally created by DuPont in 1931 as a substitute rubber. The design-driven people behind BUILT NY focused on neoprene as their primary material for their products because of its durability, and its being water-resistant and heat-resistant as well. The bags come out stretchy yet holds shape, lightweight yet durable, lending versatility to a wide range of uses.I could not resist being matchy-matchy with my Built stuff.The EVERYDAY SHOULDER TOTE, which I got for myself, "stretches to fit everyday essentials". Nice.It keeps its compact shape on the outside yet can carry all the things I lug around. As a mompreneur, I have a "mini office" right in my bag on a daily basis!I love that the bottom is foldable. It can stand on its own, stays firm enough to keep my things in place. Then when its time to keep in the closet, it folds over so it doesn't eat up much space.BUILT's popular neoprene reusable bag-Opened up, it can hold up to 25 lbs yet the bag is durable and light.I love pouches and this is now among my current favorites.
