L'indochine Loves Anina Rubio

Trust the Inspiration Seekers, L'indochine's Leona Panutat and Charlene Carlos to come up with a collection so pretty and great that you'd want to take them all home because you can't decide which one to buy! This time, they collaborated with well-known local calligraphy and watercolor artist, Anina Rubio.
Anina created designs exclusively for L’Indochine stores. “The collection is close to heart and it is generally inspired by nature elements in the Philippines such as Banana leaves, Coconut leaves, Hibiscus, Urchins, Corals, and Seaweeds. My designs are also more pattern oriented - which is a deviation from my usual typography/calligraphy artworks. Each piece, despite being from the same collection, has a different pattern.”

To create her collection “I got inspiration from my travels around the Philippines. I usually visit at least one province in the country every month, and every province yielded a different stroke of inspiration. The country is surrounded by greens and blues and those two are what sparked my designs for this collaboration: Underwater and Tropics.” 

The #L’IndochineLovesAninaRubio collection is a particularly special one as it is the first collaboration that carries both home and fashion pieces. It's a 
10-piece collection that let’s you live the island life in style. For fashion, there's an all around tote bag that’s perfect for traveling, notebooks for sketching or jotting down notes, pencil cases, pouches for storing your swimwear, and our best selling travel clutch. For the home, there's hand painted galvanized buckets, stools, beaded pillow cases, placemats and framed artwork.
Shelf full of L'indochine x Anina Rubio goodies. Seriously, it's hard to shop when you see that you want everything!
I want the chairs! Dahil hindi ako maka-decide which one to get, I went home empty handed. Na-stress ako! Haha! Hoping I can go back to L'indochine soon and there's still stock of the chair!


During the launch, we were able to join a mini watercolor workshop by Anina Rubio! It was harder than I thought. I never understood how watercolor works until it was explained by Anina. Patience is the key pala!
