Say no to eye bags and yes to leather bags with the S.O.S. x KeepCup Holiday Promo

Here at Project Vanity, we love our bags with our outfits - not under our eyes! This tutorial, together with a mix of our daily faves, saves us from carrying all that unwanted baggage. As for the bags that we DO want though, we're all about roomy, sturdy and stylish designs that can add that extra oomph to our OOTDs. This time, we’ve turned our gaze to The School of Satchel brand of quality leather bags for our holiday arm candy.

3-Way Diaper Bag with Waterproof Lining (P6,300)

The School of Satchel (S.O.S.) has been around since 2011. Their use of local materials and employment of local craftsmen for their products is a source of pride for the company. They produce satchels, laptop bags, tassel and saddle bags, and other leather accessories like pouches, passport holders, and luggage tags. They also customize orders in large batches for party giveaways or corporate clients which is perfect for gifting this holiday season.

Because S.O.S. items are handcrafted and made of high quality full grain and top grain leather, each piece is certainly an investment. The bags start from P3,500 and adjusts as you level up the leather and go up in size. In case you’re a newbie like me to all this leather speak, top grain leather is the ”most commonly used in high-end leather products” while full grain leather is “the finest of all leathers”. These two types are durable and will last a long time especially when properly cared for.

Now the good news for this holiday season, you get to have more bang for your buck with The School of Satchel x KeepCup promo! For every P5,000 worth of The School of Satchel products, you get a KeepCup 8oz. free! This is a limited time offer subject to stock availability until December 20, 2017 so best to hurry if you’re keen on getting a satchel or two for you for your loved ones.

If you’re wondering what makes #TheSchoolofSatchelxKeepCups promo so good, it’s because you would also be supporting the #reuserevolution.

KeepCup is an Australian brand of reusable cup – “the world’s first barista standard coffee cup.” The makers and supporters aim to reduce waste generated from disposable cups, so coffee and tea lovers can enjoy their daily dose of caffeine without adding to environmental damage. It's dishwasher safe and has a thermal non-slip band to keep fingers from getting burned by with hot drinks. The parts are interchangeable, too, so you can collect several designs and mix and match to your heart's content.

Officially distributed by Cupping Initiative, you can check out KeepCup's other available sizes and fun options over on their Facebook and Instagram accounts. For The School of Satchel, you can check out their products over at their Facebook page or onsite at The Park Fashion Lifestyle Store in Shangri-la Mall.
