<p>Bags. They say so much about one&#x27;s personality and style. Are you a tote kinda gal? A small clutch or a duffel kinda girl? How about a structured doctor&#x27;s bag type for those who love a statement piece? No matter what anyone says, we know we love bags and we can never have enough! </p><div><br/></div><p>This summer season though, we think it&#x27;s time to put those heavy leather bags on the backseat and allow the lighter, brighter ones to take center stage. Case in point: these insanely adorable <strong>RE:FILL DIY Bags</strong> from <strong>Invitation House </strong>and their latest<strong> bag ba</strong><strong>r</strong> concept! It&#x27;s a first-time venture for them, as they did their rebranding this year, hoping to expand their lines into something more personal. Aside from paper products which they&#x27;ve been known for, they want to be a lifestyle shop that cares about personal expression. And these bags sure do express yourself well!</p><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/14043dde-e39b-4813-836b-b35a9ebc9412_imgl3236.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>Drawing inspiration from their last spring trip to Seoul, the ladies behind Invitation House chanced upon a shop concept wherein they had a customizable station for decorating bags. They then thought of making their own concept for their boutique, only with a Filipino touch! Hence, the straw bags in eye-popping colors! </p><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/54f79746-0941-4012-9686-375344c0dd36_imgl3337.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>Keeping true to Invitation House and their lineup of must-have accessories and essentials for day-to-day living, their new bright and youthful DIY bags are not just fun, they&#x27;re functional too. They are great for the beach, a night out, or even for running errands! Stand out in a crowd in these straw bags proudly made in Davao, where Filipino bag makers are put on the spotlight. Made with quality and beauty, these bags can level up to international standards! </p><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/7a532e0f-d775-44af-84e7-f1dfc75eadb2_imgl2999.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>Express yourself, DIY it!</strong></div><p>These bags aren&#x27;t just sold as is. You get to enjoy a bag bar concept wherein you choose your base bag, and pepper it with straps and charms. &#x27;We chose paracords as our straps to stay on trend with what’s going on right now. We see this in different brands, on the runway, and how we can blend something rugged and primarily used for the outdoors with something more native and local. We think it works perfectly&#x27;, shares <strong>Alex Marquez</strong>, Assistant Creative Manager for Invitation House. <br/></p><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/45c4b381-d79e-46f7-a082-22519db3b1b5_imgl3036.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>She goes on to share, &#x27;The keychains are made based on what we think is cute, fun, and youthful. We really want to appeal to the Gen Z audience as well as the millennials, bringing it back to the DIY days we used to have as a kid.&#x27;</p><div><br/></div><p>Check out the charms you can add to your bag in the gallery below:</p><div><br/></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/e933b32a-c40a-40ea-bbf1-736d137262af_gallery_invitationhousebags.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/17d05a07-690c-418b-aa81-39ed5d8ed308_imgl3348.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/8f780cbb-2884-45d5-83f7-dc9a1fc9fc23_imgl3358.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/46ed0eda-b152-4368-85e4-64041df5214c_imgl3371.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/75375c2f-72a4-4b5b-84b0-a3a5eaab235c_imgl3377.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/96cddd47-27ea-4e2d-aef6-9959a0668f0a_imgl3378.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/857b161f-924d-4191-a6e1-f5c72e0d4671_imgl3380.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/2bc49848-d235-4b08-ac8c-528235ca7d24_imgl3381.jpeg" 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"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div></div></div></div><div><br/></div><p>Get yours today at Invitation House at the Basement 1 of Greenbelt 5.
