A Tale of Two Sisters
Fab Manila came to be because of two sisters who absolutely love art, travel and of course bags!
Since 2003, Jen and Sheila have been creating and selling bags for friends and officemates and were amazed at
how quickly their stocks have sold out. From their first batch of fabric reversible bags, the pair (with
their friend and co-founder Anna) bravely joined their first bazaar at Alabang in the same year. From then
on it became a ritual for Fab Manila to create new bags and wallets to sell at Christmas Bazaars.
In 2007, Jen and She opened their online shop at Multiply and
quickly gained a huge following. There are now 20,000 fun fashionable females who are big fans of Fab Manila. From
then on, what was once a seasonal business became year-round for Jen and She and Fab Manila has since become a favorite
online haunt of those on the lookout for stylish and unique bags and accessories.
Quirky Conversation Pieces
Jen and She are not afraid to experiment with prints and colors. Fab Manila does your basic and functional bag but it’s
always done with a bright burst of color or a unique fabric. No boring black bags here ladies!
The designs are one of a kind and they definitely stand out. The bags and accessories are all limited editions and are not
sold anywhere else except at select boutiques. Only a few items of each style are produced so a Fab Manila girl will never
bump into another girl with the same bag! However, above all else, Fab Manila bags are crafted with great care and attention to detail.
No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.

A Fab Manila bag is inspired by the travels Jen and She have done in and outside of the Philippines. A visit to the museum,
a day of bumming at the beach, anything and everything sparks Jen and She’s ideas in creating a Fab Manila bag. Their inspiration
boards are filled with pegs and tags that all make up the practical and fashionable additions to Fab Manila’s collections.
The sisters are always planning their next travel adventures so who knows what the next Fab Manila collection would be?
Labor of Love
When it all comes down to it, Fab Manila is really a labor of love for both Jen and She. Fab Manila is an extension of their
passion for travel, art and bags and they are absolutely thrilled that you are here to share their dreams with them!
