This year, Artefino moves to its new venue, The Fifth at Rockwell, wherein hundred of Filipino designers and entrepreneurs get to show clientele and supporters their unique merchandise, keeping in mind this year's theme "PAMANA", or heritage.

"The organizers and purveyors collectively acknowledge the importance of heritage. The heritage journey is captured by the total experience with an on-going focus on global quality, encouraging social entrepreneurship and showcasing artisanal art."

And mind you, this fair isn't just about shopping for that curated Filipino look that's the cool thing to do these days. Artefino goes beyond aesthetics and takes to heart the need for conscious consumerism, sustainability, supporting local communities, a focus on heritage processes in creating products. "The close to 130 participating brands have evangelized a new awareness to each item made available at the fair." It's shopping for a purpose, shopping with heart. Now what's not to love about that?
