How ANGKAN And Rags2Riches Champion Filipino Creatives With The Heritage Collection

Coffee, to many of us, can be an art of its own.

From the way it greets our mornings with the same energy that fuels our inspiration, to the craft that goes into every pour, coffee has become a language that speaks from creative to creative — especially in the Filipino culinary scene. On that same note, ANGKAN Coffee has championed the Philippine art scene, not only in the way they innovate drinks that motivate coffee fanatics on the daily, but in the way they collaborate with fellow local creatives to create merchandise that tells stories.

For their Heritage Collection, ANGKAN Coffee has partnered up with the artisan fashion and design house Rags2Riches in shaping merchandise that goes beyond collectibles. In their description of the new line, the brand wrote, “A limited-edition release crafted with purpose, designed with heart, and made exclusively for our community. Each piece is handcrafted by Filipino artisans using upcycled, ethically sourced materials, featuring ANGKAN’s signature heritage design and R2R’s mission of uplifting communities through sustainable fashion.”

The collection itself consists of three new items: the Heritage Tote Bag (Php. 950), which is a bright red canvas tote bag with stark white detailing, the Heritage Zip Pouch (Php. 1,350), which is a woven pouch with similar patterns, and the Heritage Bag Charm (Php. 395), which is a small white leather pouch you can tie on any bag for an accent of white. The Heritage Collection is available in-store at your nearest ANGKAN Coffee branch.

Made for movement, these pieces serve as a statement that represents the diversity of the Filipino art scene: sounds, flavors, fabrics, and the like. In the same way music powers the Filipino creative spirit, Angkan and Rags2Riches remind us that the art community is built cup by cup, stitch by stitch, and community by community.
