Corso Como 88, a multi-brand store known for its exquisite collection of renowned Italian and European labels, recently launched Biagini Borse at their flagship store at One Ayala, Makati CBD. Biagini is a welcome addition to the luxury retailer’s wide array of brands like Loewe, Celine, Prada and Dior Pinel et Pinel, A.P.C., Jacquemus, Acne Studios, Sequoia, Lancaster, Gianni Chiarini, By Far, and Buti Italia, to name a few.
Founder Imelda Menguito-Sciandra shared her reasons for adding the renowned brand to Corso Como 88’s product portfolio, “There was a time I was out shopping in Italy, and then I saw Biagini in one of the stores. I immediately fell in love with the hobo bag (Legenda) in python leather. It was beautiful and lightweight for a python bag and I ended up getting every color of this particular bag,” she detailed.
“I discovered that the brand was from Modena, Italy. Eventually, I got to meet the owners of Biagini, the Amidei family, and they showed me how the bags were made. I was impressed with the level of craftsmanship that goes into each bag and knew that I had to bring it to the Philippines. Biagini was something that had to be shared with Filipino bag enthusiasts, ” she enthused.
During the launch, fashion enthusiasts and celebrities showed the guests how a Biagini bag can easily elevate an outfit. Celebrities Issa Pressman, Ruffa Gutierrez, Vanessa Matsunaga, businesswoman & scientist Pinky Tobiano, and Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee showcased the stylish Biagini bags, highlighting their versatility and appeal.
