You come to a clearing along the path, and right there, you lay a picnic blanket, leisurely revealing all of its dainty contents, completely enjoying this time to savor life.  </p><div><br/></div><p>“<strong>Jane Studio</strong> is a collective effort of skilled craftsmen in various industries producing  different Art forms where the vision lies in restoring traditional techniques , honoring  what nature may offer , adopting few science and considering   zero-waste alternatives as much as possible,” Cometa explains.  </p><div><br/></div><p>“It is also not just a brand but a way of living where continuous effort is practiced everyday in supporting communities and preserving Mother Earth .

Whereas burnout would hinder her creativity in the past, the pandemic offered her a great pause, where she was able to push her dream into reality. </p><div><br/></div><p>“I came to this  age realizing what matters most and the pandemic pushed me to inject life  to <strong>Jane Studio</strong>. I felt that the timing was  perfect when everyone is so excited to explore the outdoors  . This is the time when everyone is appreciating the basics and when having less means more . These humble learnings brought me <strong>Jane Studio</strong> . [In addition], My adventurous  persona would often take me to the mountains  where I would ride and make me feel deeply alive . My love for nature taught me to find beauty in everywhere I go and in everything I see. This inspired me to develop and launch  The Basket Collection this  Summer 2022 online,&#x27; she reveals.</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/8ee8f7c3-0993-4d37-bb2e-903ff542bd02_work table.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Jane Cometa&#x27;s work table is where she mulls over her designs, and goes through a process of creating her lines for Jane Studio.<span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><em> Courtesy of Jane Cometa  </em></span></span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Indeed, this season, Jane Studio&#x27;s line of picnic baskets is everything:</strong></div><div class="article-content" itemProp="articleBody"><div class="media-content"><div class="slider-for"><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/1626a55e-b9dc-4ca2-aa9c-ae289c76f229_jane studio_landscape.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/041f82ac-a6c0-4725-94d1-b31c5b6c9424_brand cover page.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/d46fa609-487a-489e-b918-dc0b5c6b6e90_jane studio garden_1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/5e86ccf0-f4c3-47f3-9b62-f3f0a8ed0777_kalinga.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/0e420856-dc2c-4f49-9bec-dfaa6b40e890_img_1711.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/8e24523a-4d3a-4240-8be1-9cae0ec55178_img_1708.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/5c2f8917-7b70-494f-9ba6-14e8bd08b02e_img_1712.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/bdb02653-44a2-40fc-904b-33919c3a7db6_mayumi card.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/411ddeae-9292-4e74-b72e-cb44eb8a5958_kalinga card.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div></div><div class="media-content slider-desc"><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Mayumi  - A romantic backpack picnic basket for 2 adventurous souls is something I may consider fast moving .<cite>Courtesy of Jane Studio</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Garden Picnic with Jane Studio<cite>Courtesy of Jane Studio</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Kalinga - A classic family picnic basket perfect for 4 outgoing old souls.<cite>Courtesy of Jane Studio</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Pag-Irog - A Scooter Top picnic basket/case  that can be converted to a carrier  with accessories.<cite>Courtesy of Jane Studio</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Pag-Irog<cite>Courtesy of Jane Studio</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Pag-Irog<cite>Courtesy of Jane Studio</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Mayumi <cite>Courtesy of Jane Studio</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>Kalinga<cite>Courtesy of Jane Studio</cite></p></div></div></div></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/living/entertaining/5-easy-tips-for-an-outdoor-picnic-that-is-big-on-s/30177" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">5 Easy Tips For An Outdoor Picnic That Is Big On Style</a></div><div><br/></div><p>A self-proclaimed “artist, romantic and an old soul,” Cometa employs a ten-step design process where she engages in research, sketching, meeting and learning the makers, and sampling her creations until a product is born.

I create with the inspiration of using sustainable resources and  to work within our [goal] of preserving Mother Earth. These raw materials are usually rolled out using wood , bamboo , shells , rocks , wool, leather and linens.
