Sustainability at the Heart of the Collaboration In a world dominated by fast fashion, OPPO and R2R's collaboration takes a significant step toward sustainability. Crafted from eco-friendly materials, these exclusive fashion pieces encourage support for local artistry, tradition, and environmental conservation.

Caloocan, and Donnalynn Bulunan, Community Coordinator and Artisan weaver from
Paradise Heights Tondo.

Rei Germar's dumpling bag, made with upcycled fabric and indigenous Binetwagan weaves, showcases genuine leather trims, a magnetic snap top closure, and the versatility to transform into an onigiri-shaped handbag.

Pam Quiñones's Loop Bag is R2R’s first entirely hand-stitched, vegan bag, featuring a woven body with an upcycled fabric checkerboard pattern.

Daryl Chang’s Ring Sling Bag incorporates a leather drawstring pouch, round zip purse, and phone sleeve in a jersey woven panel, attached to a round ring through metal hooks, with a detachable and adjustable leather strap.

David Guison wears the Pixel Crossbody Bag he designed which includes a bag charm
that you can hang on your smartphone.

David Guison's Pixel Crossbody Bag is a rectangular crossbody bag with a Blocks pattern, featuring genuine leather trims, a top zip closure, and a detachable, adjustable leather strap.
