PAR8DE is celebrating their 5th run of this carefully curated trunk show by Ann See and Tessa Villalon, this coming September 27-29th.
This anxiously awaited shopping event will be held in Makati at the Rockwell Club the last weekend of this month and will include 40 vendors who are launching new products for the holiday season or new facets in their collections.
I have visited this trunk show before and I was impressed with the variety of products offered that were both mid range and luxury in fashion, food, home goods and accessories. From Oliver & Maude to now Willow Clothing, and Auntie Arnie’s it’s clear that Ann and Tessa are mindful of the vendors that they bring into this exclusive event.
They have so many fun things in store for everyone who will be taking advantage of this shopping opportunity.
LIMITED WORKSHOP SLOTS
They have limited slots in the workshops being offered all through the whole show. Expect classes like morning yoga, oil blending, and plant 101, that will send you home with lots of goodies. There will also be opportunities to learn more about how to care for your family and style your dining table in a flash.
HOMEGROWN LOVE
Ann and Tessa are always looking for homegrown products and brands to introduce to the community. This is the characteristic of their trunks show that differentiates what they do from others. Shoppers like me, look forward to that. That means it’s a great place to start your Christmas Shopping.
TRIED AND TRUE BRANDS
In addition to their new brands, you can look forward to their staple brands. Be sure to check out Wenya, Florence Fling, Caravela, and Yogibrunch!

Can I just tell you how happy I was that my best girl was able to join me for this simple event? All the photos in this post are taken by her.
Because Tessa and Ann are so very generous, we were all sent home with goodies to enjoy from their newest vendors. I am looking forward to trying these products out!
Be sure to stop by and see me and Sabrina demonstrate just how easy and useful having a stock of Auntie Arnie’s freezer packs is at home. We will whip up a quick meal that is enough for 6 people in just 15 minutes!
Our demonstration will be on Friday at 1pm.
