VIRRCO's Hand-Painted Bag to Benefit Smile Train

L

ooking for that stylish bag that is hard to imitate or duplicate yet affordable, then check out this Virrco x Smile Train limited edition hand-painted bag!

Wearing a lit bag nowadays goes beyond chic appeal, and supplemental fashion statement, but rather a testimony to serve humanity.

That‘s the trendsetting concept behind Virrco's hand-painted bags in coming up with a collection via Virrco Bag Launch last Oct 16 at Pandan Asian CafĂ© Scout Limbaga Tomas Morato Quezon City, that not only celebrates Pinay women but also shares its vision with proceeds to benefit Smile Train Foundation, a global organization that supports children with cleft palate.

It's the second time visual artist-turned-painter Rommel Rico aka Virrco has been invited for a collaboration after the success of One Eyed Women a well-received exhibit featuring his works depicting Filipina women benefiting children with AIDS last December 2021 at MetLive Atrium in Macapagal  

"It’s been a more fulfilling pursuit to help people and art can be a way to go.,” the artist who is a staunch advocate and art shipper disclosed during the media launch. With his inspiration of Pinay women depicted and celebrated in each bag meticulously crafted to become not just a functional piece but more that speaks about an initiative in alleviating other's miseries.

Virrco bags are each personally made thus owning one is literally possessing a piece of definitive art by Rommel Rico who evidently campaigns for Pinay empowerment in his art subjects.  


Applying his signature colors incorporating Filipiniana, Rommel Rico aka Virrco remained consistent with his calling in celebrating the Pinay women's brand of resiliency and competency even after his second art exhibit Perlas Ng Silangan at SM Centerpoint last June 12 in celebration of Independence Day featuring his collections and artworks, a feast of his masterpiece.

A fashionable art or rather wearable art that is truly empowering to carry is the idea Virrco is pushing after all fashion art and advocacy makes a great game changer and value-adding combination.

Thus, owning a limited edition of the Virrco bag brings about a good vibe of uplifting others and promoting concern. Let's be part of this initiative with the charm of having the Virrco x Smile Train hand-painted bags to help change lives one bag at a time.

Virrco bags will soon be available at Lazada with a printed version.
