Bea Alonzo is fully embracing her entrepreneurial spirit. Over the weekend, she threw a chic event, dubbed 'The Bubbly Bash,' to launch the new collection of her travel essentials brand BASH*.

Held in Brazilian Japanese restaurant Uma Nota in Shangri-La The Fort, BASH*'s Saturday night gathering marked 'a new era of traveling' and a milestone for the brand with the launch of their Peach Fuzz collection.

Peach Fuzz is the Color of the Year, as declared by color authority Pantone. This fun, warm, inviting, and stylish hue has taken over BASH*'s Billow Collection of travel bags and organizers.

In theme with the new collection, The Bubbly Bash event was teeming with peach elements and décor, with the venue dressed up by celebrity event stylist Gideon Hermosa. It was indeed a 'peach-tastic' event!

Of course, what's a 'bubbly' bash without champagne, right? Bea filling the Champagne Towers Manila glasses with Moët & Chandon sure was one of the highlights of the evening.

BASH* was founded in November 2023 by Bea alongside partners Bea and Brina Secosana. 'It’s always been a dream of mine to create my own brand and share my passions with all of you,' Bea shared on social media when she launched BASH*. 'The inception of BASH stemmed from my deep love for travel and organizing. I had a vision to create a brand that enhances travelers' experiences. Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to explore various destinations, and each journey has left a lasting impression on me. I wanted to create a brand that not only encapsulates the spirit of exploration but also provides practical and stylish solutions for travelers.'

Why 'BASH?' Well, the brand's name was inspired by the name of her well-loved character in the movie One More Chance, Basha.

During the event, Bea briefly talked about BASH*, sharing that they started the brand with the goal of changing how travelers travel and pack their clothes. 'Because we believe that every journey can be or [is] supposed to be effortless. It should be seamless,' Bea said. 'So we have crafted a collection of travel essentials that unite practicality, affordability, and style.'

Bea will drop by the pop-up store for a meet and greet, too.
