Rags2Riches, Fashion Prodigy with a Heart

Aside from the old adage “from rags to riches”, I never thought this phrase would be a byword in fashion arena of today. What am I talking about? It is about a social enterprise company named Rags2Riches that revolutionized to what we have as a fashion statement of the modern day.

This is not the usual fashion that we see from day to day. It is because of their peculiar way of transforming organic and indigenous materials, usually from up-cycled scrap cloth or fabrics, into a more useful and beautifully crafted accessories such as fashion handbags, eyeglass cases, wine bottle holders and more, all for sale in top-end shops.

Not only that. By partnering with Filipino artisans across the country, they create a so-called eco-ethical fashion with timeless styles and function. With this idea, they just not create sheer employment out of common artisans but also empower them to give their very best in every creation they make.

Globally recognized social entrepreneur Reese Fernandez-Ruiz is the President and co-Founder of Rags2Riches. With her team of young professionals, she sought advice from designers and collaborates with known fashion personalities and community leaders to make her mission and vision of the company become a reality. This could also be the reason why Rags2Riches is chosen to be one of the collaborators of Samsung Galaxy Tab A. Being unique has its rewards.
