Buntal Bags are a combination of unrivalled style and stand out elegance hand-woven to perfection. Every bag is delicately made not by machines but careful native hands that spare no eye for flaws and blemishes. The buntal fibers alone as the main material proves the durability of the product, making it last for years and years of use. Unlike those brands that we frequently see in stores sporting a grand line of uniform styles, these unique bags differ in shape, sizes, and bearing because of the fact that they are hand-woven. So, more often than not, you can expect that no bag is similar to the other. Moreover, these bags are also available for custom-made orders so a client can always expect to receive the product according to her specifications. This is perfect for those who would like to own bags different from the rest, and stand out with its unique fashion sense.
Buntal bags can be made or assembled with other fabrics like abaca fiber, pandan, sabutan and materials such as leather, reptile skin, animal fur, gems, or metals. However, to maintain its natural beauty, buntal fiber remains to be the dominant façade of the product, distinguishing it from the rest.
Here's my buntal bag =) It costs around 700 pesos. you can email them for orders at buntal_ethnic@yahoo.com
Here are some of their cute items..

What’s Lurking Under Your Rug
Saturday, October 3
It's a weekend once again, I have been very busy working for the home with some household chores. Moms like us need to be cautious about the safety of our kids especially our little ones.
Today, Adi and I went to buy some toys for him. Lately he has been hooked on watching Youtube but since I have saved some videos for offline viewing he sees them all the time even if we are offline. Just today, he had asked me to buy him some toys, and since it is a payday I couldn't resist his requests.
Just as I have observed my son is used to playing, drawing and spending time doing stuffs he loves on our floor. I wouldn't really mind that he plays with stuffs that way all children do, but what a mom like me is concerned is how my floor is free from all the dirt, dust and germs that he might be getting.

I got him some colorful letters. Which he chose for himself. I was glad to know he wants to learn more the alphabets. |
Being safe is all we need to ensure, cleaning and protecting them is our main priority. That is why today, I am happy to be able to share with you this helpful article.
While an oriental rug can help highlight a room’s decor, remembering to have your oriental rug
professionally cleaned once a year helps ensure its value and style stay intact. And though your
rug might seem clean to the naked eye, taking a closer look at your rug reveals a dirtier story. In
our “What’s Lurking Under Your Rug?” info graphic below, we’ve taken a closer look at some of
the microscopic offenders that are likely soiling your rug.
