#TechPH - OPPO and R2R Unveil a Limited-Edition Collection to Ignite Sustainability and Artistry this Festive Season
Leading global smart device brand OPPO has teamed up with social entrepreneur R2R in a dynamic combination of innovation and purpose to support Filipino artists and advance sustainability with a special limited-edition collection. The goal of this partnership is to convey inspiration and happiness by merging fashion, creativity, and sustainability.
Together with R2R craftsmen, the project features OPPO's partnered creatives Rei Germar, David Guison, Pam Quiñones, and Daryl Chang. Together, they put Filipino workmanship and sustainability front and center in their limited edition bag designs, which are a creative display.
"OPPO, fueled by continuous innovation, is dedicated to impactful partnerships like R2R. This is just the beginning of our shared journey to promote sustainability," shared Joanarc Sales, Head of PR and CRM at OPPO Philippines.
Collaboration rooted in sustainability
In a landscape dominated by fast fashion, OPPO and R2R's collaboration stands as a significant stride towards sustainability. Crafted from sustainable materials, the exclusive fashion pieces encourage support for local artistry, tradition, and environmental conservation.
Rei Germar designed the dumpling bag which has a woven body made with upcycled fabric and gussets made with indigenous fabric in Binetwagan weaves. Its details include genuine leather trims, a magnetic snap top closure, cotton fabric lining, and inner side snaps to transform the dumpling bag into an onigiri-shaped handbag.
Pam Quiñones designed the Loop Bag which features a woven body made with upcycled fabric in a checkerboard pattern. This is R2R’s first completely hand-stitched bag, with no machine used to make it. It is also a vegan bag, with no other components except the fabric used to make the body.
Daryl Chang’s Ring Sling Bag contains a leather drawstring pouch, a round zip purse, and a phone sleeve in jersey woven panel, all attached to a round ring through metal hooks. It also comes with a detachable and adjustable leather strap.
The Pixel Crossbody Bag designed by David Guison is a rectangular crossbody bag made with upcycled fabric woven into a Blocks pattern. It features genuine leather trims, a top zip closure, an exterior back zip pocket, and cotton fabric lining. Both the short handle and wide, adjustable long strap are made with genuine leather. It comes with a bag charm in the form of a key ring and upcycled fabric tassels.
Helping Filipino artisans enjoy the present
By collaborating with R2R, OPPO is also helping these artisans enjoy the present this Holiday season. The campaign, which will launch a limited-edition bag collection, is an ideal stage for R2R’s partner artisans’ talents to be recognized.
Profits from the collection will directly benefit the families of R2R artisans, and OPPO products will be provided to enhance their daily lives.
“We thank OPPO for amplifying our local artisans' talents and strengthening our shared mission of promoting sustainability," said Reese Ruiz-Fernandez, President and Founding Partner of R2R.
