MANILA, Philippines - Liu Jo’s newly-opened accessories boutique at the 2nd level of The Podium Mall houses its latest collection of shoes, bags, purses and select jewelry. Steeped in luxury and style, they reflect the allure of the elegant and modern Liu Jo woman.
The shoes have interesting details like structured straps, chains and studs perfect for the fashion-forward femme. Liu Jo boasts a bohemian romantic vibe with playful and quaint patterns.
Sequins, brooches and intricate lace and leather patchwork patterns are seen in sandals to stilettos while leather ribbons and rhinestone studs provide the finishing touches to pumps. Open sandals in ultra-flat leather are a positive tug-of-war between what is simple and elaborate; giving the best of both worlds between today and the ’70s sophistication. Warm and natural overtones such as mud gray, pink clay and brick are matched with cold neutrals like dove, red and lichen green.
Liu Jo bags come in warm, earth tones with a palette that ranges from light-taupe to camel or mustard with hints of burning heat. Shades are immensely straightforward and mainly neutral playing up the wool whites, ivory creams or skin tones. These are complemented by aqua blue, forest green or deep red. Handbags and cocktail purses are embellished with patchwork embroideries in sequins, metal chains and studs.
