Patis Pamintuan-Tesoro Fashion

MANILA, Philippines - With an eye for detail and a knack for creating traditional Filipiniana designs for the modern-day woman, Patis Pamintuan-Tesoro is easily one of our country’s most iconic designers. Hailed as the Grand Dame of Philippine Fashion, Tesoro has redefined classic and conventional dressing to suit the tastes of her discerning customers. She deftly manipulates indigenous materials such as Mindanao handwoven balud, piña, and abaca to form elegant pieces worn by politicians, socialites, and a host of influential Filipinas. The evening’s affair was complete with sumptuous hors‘d oeuvres by the Makati Shangri-La Hotel.

A name like Patis Tesoro naturally deserves the best. It is only fitting, then, that Tesoro’s pieces are now available at Rustan’s, the country’s premier retail destination. With a collection of homegrown and international brands already found in its halls, Rustan’s is the perfect venue for bringing Tesoro’s creations to a wider market.
