Wellmanson’s in Quiapo

Badet — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 15:43:18 +0000

As you all know, I love accessories! I collect and sell them and if time permits, I also make accessories. My fave things to do are earrings and charm bracelets. Unfortunately, I still don’t have time to get my hands on my corroded pliers and beading tools. I even sent my polymer clays to my friend because she can put it to good use, and she has very talented hands than mine.

Anyway, for those hobbyist, accessory designers and future online sellers, I’ll let you in on a little secret. If you’re looking for beading supplies like beads, murano glass, metal charms, chains and strings and what-have-yous, go to Wellmanson’s in Quiapo. Wellmanson’s is a haven for accessory lovers, they have everything you need in accessory making and they also sell fashion accessories at a surprisingly cheap price. I can be there inside for hours, I enjoy looking at rows and rows of beads and browsing beading magazines at the sofa. Their staff are also knowledgeable and helpful, like for example, you want to make a glass earrings shown below, the staff will tell you the all materials you need such as fish hooks, jump rings and the glass beads. Same goes if you want to make glass necklaces, just ask and they’d be happy to assist you.

For those who want to visit Wellmanson’s, it’s along Villalobos St. in Quiapo. Villalobos St. is the street in front of Quiapo church, there are also other bead shops along Villalobos like Pot of Gems, Butingting, etc. I found a map of Wellmanson’s from weddingannouncer, here it is:

Cocktail rings

Cocktail rings are hot these days! They come in a variety of shapes (flower and animal designs, antique or silver finish, etc.). But what’s surprising is that these lovely pieces are so cheap you’d want to wear 10 rings at once!

At first, I intent to sell them at my online store but they’re so pretty I kept them all! My favorites are the three rings at the bottom. Price ranges from Php 75-Php 100. These can be great gifts for your kikay girl friends, just pop them in a ring box and it’s an instant gift. Definitely a no-brainer unlike those rustic furniture that your parents included on their Christmas wishlist.

Quilted chain bags at SM Department Store

Badet — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:30:04 +0000

Quilted chain bags are so hot since early this year. But not everyone can afford a Chanel or any other designer handbags with similar styles. I saw a lot of class A Chanel replicas but I want an unbranded one but with the same style. And guess where I found the quilted chain bags I was looking for for months, SM Department Store! SM got it all indeed, I was leisurely checking out the newly renovated department store of SM North Edsa when I saw fabulous clustered chains and quilts screaming in front of me.

Quilted chain bags come in a variety of sizes, styles and colors. I like the hobo bag style and the oh-so-girly pink bag in the first photo above. And the price, I bet you won’t mind buying lots because the bags are priced at Php 300-Php 499 only.
