Me, Bags, and a Business Opportunity

For my birthday, I bought a handbag for myself - my first bag purchase in over two years. Yes, it took me 2 years before buying a new one. Why? Because I got bags as gifts from my husband and family last year. And since I'm home most of the time, my bags are not used that often and have a long "cabinet" life. And when there's a need for me to buy one, I am particular with each purchase. The bag should have the following criteria:
  • functional
  • big, and I mean BIG - to stash all those mommy essentials as well as my son's items (e.g. baby wipes, mosquito repellent, water bottle, etc.)
  • versatile - something I can use when I do groceries or a movie date
  • light-weight - with all the items I need to bring (including a folding umbrella!), it would be nice that the bag doesn't weigh too much when it's empty!
  • long-lasting - need I say more? It has to last for years!
  • Filipino-made - I'd like to help my countrymen and the economy even in my minuscule way
  • cost-effective - Not necessarily cheap. I don't usually buy branded items since I've always believed that brand does not always equate to quality (there are exemptions, of course). Sometimes, those products that started small and became big-time had to compromise their quality for the expenses they have incurred from using celebrity endorsers. If I were richer though, yeah, maybe I can have one or two luxury bags. :) But for now, I prefer that the bags I use do not amount to more than the money I have in my wallet.


Shopping for bags before was a great "me time" however since I became a mom, shopping at the mall has become more stressful. When I shop with my family, I can't be the usual meticulous shopper who roams around for at least an  hour before making a decision. Now, I have to make sure I have taken a product off the shelf in less than 30 minutes or else my boys would be yawning or hungry. And when I do shop alone, I am always looking at my watch counting the number of hours I have been away and wondering what my mag-ama are doing at the moment. Haay.

Thankfully enterprises have taken their businesses online. It is now easy and convenient for stay-at-home moms like me to browse and shop. One of these enterprises is the Filipino-owned Sunshine and Citrus
