Product Review: Ni'qua

Anyone who knows me is privy to my love of bags. As I got older I put value on materials more than brands. I would rather have a bag that would last me several years than something that would start to peel, unravel or color bleed after a few months.

My search brought me to leather goods and found a good alternative to the already established brands that are quite expensive - Ni'qua. They have online presence in FB and IG but also have regular pop-ups around Metro Manila, plus they would sometimes open their physical store somewhere in Marikina for blitzes.

You can have your bags personalized - color, texture, lining, straps. They have recently also offered shoes and sandals. You should check out their website for their products.

Ordering and paying for my item was quick and easy with the help of paypal. Delivery took a few days but nothing worrisome. The bag itself is of good quality leather and I have had it for more than a year now and still looks brand new.

Product Review: Astrid Leather

My first order with Astrid leather was a personalized keychain for my car keys and a key holder. It was affordable, made with real leather so no cracks or peeling after a couple of months and it was very convenient - I ordered and paid for the items online.

When my key chain got lost when I had the car serviced I ordered a new one. Its classic design fits me well. Not flashy. Sturdy. Reliable. Together with my new keychain I bought several pieces for friends and family, all personalized, of course. The quality was so good I even sent a couple mainland US and Hawaii as gifts.

After that I also ordered a clutch and a bag tag for myself. This I have used for when I am traveling and I want a place where I can store my docs, passport and small items like a pen. It is quite quaint and again, timeless. There's still room for improvement on the variety of items they can offer, if you ask me. Maybe more design options? I hope they expand soon.

Overall satisfaction guaranteed is what I have experienced with all my buys at Astrid Leather. You can find them in FB and IG.
