<p><strong>Rockwell</strong> is thrilled to unveil its latest <strong>Tarp to Tote</strong> initiative, where tarpaulin material from mall ads is repurposed into chic and eco-conscious totes. Over the years, Rockwell has collaborated with renowned Filipino designers such as Amina Aranaz, Patty Ang, and Zarah Juan, to create these totes.</p><div><br/></div><p> This year, Rockwell has teamed up with local social enterprise <strong>Rags2Riches</strong> for a whole new collection.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/4c0bb9a6-72cc-4a8d-ae49-896221b138ed_tarp to tote a.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Rockwell" s="" Tarp="" to="" Tote="" initiative="" by="" Rags=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Rockwell&#x27;s Tarp to Tote initiative</span></span></span></div><div></div><div><br/></div><p>Previous Tarp to Tote collections have used tarpaulin as the base or lining of the bag. However, for this collection, Rags2Riches and Rockwell are introducing two distinct styles. </p><div><br/></div><p>One is a micro-tote, for those who seek a compact yet stylish bag to carry their essentials. The second is a medium tote, offering more space while still retaining the fashionable, eco-friendly aesthetic.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/089275a5-5be6-4abe-84b9-3fc97155063d_tarp to tote b.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">The micro-tote</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Both bags feature Rags2Riches’ signature weave, intricately fusing recycled denim with the tarp to give it a distinctive and eye-catching pattern. These two versatile materials combine to produce totes that are not only trendy, but are also exceptionally Filipino in craftsmanship (25 local artisans are dedicating their skill and passion to this project). It took a remarkable 334 sqm of tarpaulin to create all these totes, which is as large as an establishment in Power Plant Mall, underscoring the magnitude of creativity and sustainability inherent in this collaboration.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/6e37c38b-57b5-4bc0-946f-3fee3bc06b4d_tarp to tote c.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">The medium tote</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>These limited-edition totes can be purchased on <a href="https://shop.therockwellist.com/" target="_blank">shop.TheRockwellist.com</a>, Power Plant Mall’s e-commerce platform, or The Rockwellist pop-up at the R1 Level Lifestyle Hallway (near Commonwealth). *Avid Rockwellists can claim one of each design on The Rockwellist mobile app for 5,000 points per tote. <strong>*Available only until supplies last.</strong> </p><div><br/></div><div><strong><em>Don’t miss your chance to own a sophisticated and sustainable piece of fashion.
